CIPA Low-Mount Chrome Truck & Van Mirror 7.5 x 10.5 OE-Style — Corrosion-Resistant Stainless Brackets

CIPA 45500 Low-Mount Chrome is an OE-style, corrosion-resistant low-mount mirror assembly designed to replace factory mirrors on pickups, vans, and trucks.

This full replacement mirror kit gives you a large, adjustable reflective surface and heavy-duty hardware built to resist rust and stay secure on commercial and personal vehicles. The mirror head offers near-OE dimensions for wide visibility, while stainless-steel brackets and chrome-plastic housing help the assembly withstand weather and road conditions. A swing-away design and included fasteners simplify installation on most cab doors or mounting points.

How large is the mirror and what visibility can I expect?

The mirror head measures 7.5" by 10.5", with a glass surface roughly 6.95" by 9.95"—close to many original equipment sizes. That larger glass area improves side and rear sightlines for towing, lane changes, and blind-spot awareness compared with smaller replacement mirrors.

• Mirror head dimensions: 7.5" x 10.5"
• Glass surface: 6.95" x 9.95" for broader coverage
• OE-style shape for familiar sightlines

What materials and construction prevent corrosion and wear?

This CIPA mirror pairs a chrome-finish plastic head with stainless-steel brackets so it resists rust and keeps moving parts functional in wet or salty environments. All mounting brackets and arms are made to handle exposure without degrading, while the included nylon and spring washers protect fasteners from seizing.

• Plastic chrome mirror head to reduce oxidation
• Stainless-steel brackets and arms for long-term durability
• Corrosion-resistant washers and anchors included

How easy is installation and what hardware comes with the kit?

The kit arrives with everything needed to attach the mirror, and the swing-away arm helps maneuver it through tight spaces during fitment. Some vehicles may require drilling to match factory mounting points, but clear instructions and all common fasteners are supplied for straightforward assembly.

• Includes head assembly, curved arm, V-arm bracket, and mounting bracket
• Hardware: nylon washers, flat washers, spring washers, hex screws, screws and plastic anchors
• Assembly required; may need drilling for specific models

Can this mirror be used on either driver or passenger side?

Yes—the assembly is universal in position and engineered to fit on either the driver or passenger side. Its V-shaped arm with a 10.5" total height and 8.75" bolt-hole spacing accommodates common truck and van mounts, making it a flexible replacement option.

• Universal mount fits both sides
• V-shaped arm: 10.5" height on both sides
• Bolt holes spaced 8.75" apart to match many vehicles
