Fit System 1401 Driver/Passenger Side Replacement Classic Oblong Universal Mirror

I've had 2 CIPA 18000 Universal Oblong Chrome Car Side Mirrors on my classic for several years, but was slightly unhappy with the amount of inboard swivel to get it aimed correctly on the passenger side. Needed another, and this looked similar, so I thought I'd give it a try to see if it pleased me more.This is a product with a glass mirror mounted in a chromed-plastic housing. The mirror is flat, not convex at all. Both the body around the mirror and the stem that mounts to the car are plastic. There is a screw adjustment to make the swivel stiffer or looser, and a steel bracket that mounts to the car-door with sheet-metal screws through elongated holes -- I was able to use the existing mirror bolts and bolt positions, and the holes are elongated by about 4 cm so there is plenty of adjustment to get the mirror body into the right fore-aft position.Having compared the mirror, gasket, and bracket, I can say that this product is completely indistinguishable from the CIPA 18000. They look like they came off the same assembly line from the same molds.When you stand within a meter of this you might notice that there is a hint of a mold parting line, but at greater distances it just looks chromey like the rest of the chrome on the car. I've taken it through the automatic car-wash with no damage.Colin Chapman used to say 'Simplify, then add lightness' was his secret of racing track success. This has all the appearance and durability of a molded pot-metal chromed accessory, but a fraction of the weight. And it lets me see who is behind me in the adjacent lane.

These mirrors are absolutely terrible. They didn't mount properly and continued to slip off their mounting brackets. Additionally, they are hard to adjust due to the fact that they are made entirely of plastic. As soon as I tried to adjust them they dislodged from the mounting brackets and were only hanging by the set screw.

As long as you don’t get rough with it. It is plastic, but still looks good & works well.

They look and feel nice, but aren't adjustable enough for use on my Karmann Ghia. I'll need something else.

This is a well made, easy to install outside mirror. Unfortunately, on my car, the range of motion of the mirror, was limited, making it almost unusable for my car. If the mirror is to be installed on an upper surface, instead of a side mounting, it will probably work fine.

Terrible. Can not adjust mirror for proper driver side needs. Stiff and way out of needed field of view.

Looks nice. This mirror is not adjustable. The view you have with it will depend on how you mount it.
