CIPA Side Mirror Replacement Head — OE Chrome 5x8 Flat Glass, Direct-Fit Ball-and-Socket Mount

The CIPA 95500 OE Chrome Side Mirror Replacement Head is a direct-fit chrome mirror head with a 5" x 8" flat glass and ball-and-socket mount that replaces Ford-style and many truck and van mirror heads.

If your exterior mirror head is cracked, corroded, or missing, this OEM-style replacement head restores function and appearance without welding or drilling. Manufactured to fit original equipment mounting patterns, the CIPA 95500 installs using existing holes and the supplied bolt and lock washer. The chrome finish gives a clean, durable look while the 5" x 8" flat glass provides a wide reflected field suitable for towing and commercial use.

How does installation work with existing hardware?

Installation is designed to be straightforward: the mirror head uses the same mounting points as the factory unit, so you won’t need new brackets or vehicle modifications. The package includes a bolt and lock washer sized for the head; the bracket is not included but most standard Ford-style mirror brackets accept this head.

• Uses original mounting holes — no drilling required
• Included bolt and lock washer secure the head
• Compatible with common Ford-style truck and van mirror brackets

Will this fit on driver or passenger side mirrors?

The CIPA 95500 is made as a universal OE replacement head for either side; its symmetrical design lets it mount on the left or right hand mirror arm. Confirm your vehicle uses a Ford-style head pattern to ensure compatibility.

• Fits driver or passenger side mirror heads
• Direct-replacement for many Ford-style mirrors
• Works with flat glass applications for consistent sightlines

What are the product’s durability and adjustability features?

The head’s chrome exterior delivers corrosion resistance and a clean visual finish, while the ball-and-socket mounting system allows precise aiming from any angle. Heavy-duty construction is intended for commercial and daily-use environments where vibration and weather exposure are factors.

• Chrome finish resists rust and maintains exterior appearance
• Ball-and-socket mount enables multi-angle positioning
• Rugged construction built for frequent use and road conditions

What hardware and components are included in the package?

The box contains the chrome mirror head plus the fastening hardware needed to attach it to a compatible bracket: one bolt and one lock washer. Bracket or mounting arm is sold separately, so check your current bracket for reuse before ordering.

• 1 chrome mirror head with 5" x 8" flat glass
• 1 bolt and 1 lock washer included
• Bracket/arm not included — reuses existing bracket on most installations

Who is this for: The CIPA 95500 is aimed at vehicle owners, fleet managers, and repair shops needing a reliable, OE-style replacement head for truck and van mirrors—especially those with Ford-style mounting patterns. Choose this part if you want a direct-fit chrome head with a wide 5" x 8" flat mirror, sturdy construction for heavy use, and an adjustable ball-and-socket joint that lets you aim the mirror without special tools. If your mirror bracket is missing or uniquely shaped, verify bracket compatibility before purchase.
