These towing mirrors are cheaply made with only two year warranty. Sorry but I expect my car mirrors to last longer than two years. Mine are now permanently jammed open. The screw hole covers fell out after a month. Do your research before buying! Show details
Had our Clearview Towing Mirrors (Next Gen model) installed by Isuzu with our Isuzu MUX purchase. About 2.5 years after purchase, the paint has flaked off the mounting and exposing the underlying metal to corrosion. Shortly after, we also found we can no longer fully extend and retract the telescopic arms. Our warranty claim was rejected. I… Read more
appreciate the legal warranty is only 2yrs but my expectation is that the useful life of car mirrors is greater than 2 years and issues like this shouldn’t appear so soon. 10 years is a more appropriate useful life for mirrors.
I have never experienced such fantastic customer service. Recently I did a warranty claim for 1 faulty next generation 2022 side mirror. Ashleigh, booked the courier to pickup & return, all within 10 days. As for the Clearview mirrors they are a top quality product that withstood the GRR & many more corrugated roads in our 18 months of travelling. Show details

Fake chrome/Clearview – Purchased chrome mirrors to fit 2013 D-Max and after 2 years one of the mirrors had the false chrome peeling from the main structure, still under warranty it was replaced. After 2years and 8 months the other side mirror has the same issue but was told by ARB Ballarat to keep on eye on it and if it gets worse lets us know…. All good I say but… Read more
nearly out of warranty, no all fine was the reply… ha ha ha did not get that in writing and when I returned was told out of warranty cannot help you but we can sell you the next generation model at a discount price .. wow wee thank you .. initial cost 800 bucks and now another 1000 .. far out.. and to rub salt into the wound the replacement mirror is also peeling the false chrome off… do yourself a favor and do not buy the plastic chrome and go with the black mirrors.. very disappointed in this product and ARB Ballarat for pushing the days out so as I have no come back… hope this helps someone.. Cheers Macca

Hello world So I needed towing mirrors, placed an order online with clearview. The next day clearview emailed me stating the order was on back order and will be actioned in the next 10 days. Three days later the mirrors arrived. While installing I came across some difficulties with the electric motor on the mirrors spontaneously moving. Called… Read more
clearview and the support on the phone was amazing I mean above and beyond they really knew their product.
Do not buy you tow mirrors from any place but Clearview this is the support you dream of in real life.
During the installation of towing mirrors there where some camera orientation issues encountered by the installers at ARB. AJ from Clearview collaborated with ARB to quickly set things right. Great friendly service from Clearview.
One of my powerfold mirrors ceased to fold and I had to fold it manually. I contacted Clearview and they asked me to send the mirror to them for repair. When they asked for proof of purchase I told them I did not have the original receipt and as the mirrors were 7 years old they would not be covered by warranty. To my surprise when they returned the mirror they had provided me with a new mirror under warranty. Show details

Bought the chrome next gen towing mirrors for my ranger, was supplied 1 black and 1 chrome, month later still waiting for a new chrome cover, no customer service
Absolute trash. When it rains they don’t open or close anymore. After a few days it works again. But now even without rain they just stopped working. For the price this is unacceptable.
Poor quality – The mirrors were very stiff and required a Olympic weight lifter to extend and retract them. Also most annoying is that the continually misalign themselves regardless of when they are extended or retracted. Had it back to supplier however it appears that clearview are endeavouring to avoid warranty situation Show details

Ordered the wrong mirrors, when I tried to fit them it was my obvious mistake. They took back the old ones, I ordered new ones and they arrived within 4 days. Every interaction with them was EXCELLENT. Show details

I have never experienced a more supportive and customer friendly company than Clearview towing mirrors! From the moment I booked my 200 series in to the time I left I was treated with the utmost respect and friendly service from all of the awesome Clearview staff, from the owner Mike right through to the very cheerful and welcoming accounts… Read more
staff. Not only did they solve any issues I had but also took the time to set up my rock tamers correctly, which I was so grateful for, and Mike ( the owner) even took the time to show me around his factory. A very clean and orderly factory says a lot about a company as well as the dedication of the employees who are proud to work for such a great company and the absolute respect they have for Mike! A great Australian company producing a great Australian product! Pete
We had our original mirrors on our Y62 replaced with clear view as part of a GVM upgrade and we could not be happier. The product is great and the service from the team in VIC is outstanding. We called into their repair shop while travelling when we had a minor issue with one of the mirrors and they managed to squeeze us in straight away and got it fixed on the spot. A great friendly and helpful team. Show details
Fantastic staff and service – Just have had a mirror and both sliding arms repaced. The customer service at Brendale Brisbane was fantastic. My Clearview mirrors have served me well and thanks to the great staff at Brendale will continue. Many thanks to Paul and staff.
does the job – brought the next gen towing mirrors for my dmax and overall a positive experience, they do the job they are designed to do, only negative is the blind spot monitors are very hard to see during the day! Show details
Clearview after sale service – Shortly after purchasing my next gen mirrors they developed an annoying rattle and vibration. I returned to the dealer I purchased them from and they agreed there was a problem. When they contacted clearview warranty team they were told clearview would need a video to support our claim. After a technician used his mobile to video the vibration… Read more
clearview questioned the quality of the video saying the rattle and vibration was within their standards. I spoke to the warranty manager who agreed to inspect the mirrors. A few weeks later the mirrors were returned having been repaired but the vibration and rattle was the same. The dealer took mirrors back refunding my money and will take up the issue with clearview. In 45 years of motoring I have not experienced any after sale service as bad. I couldn't recommend clearview to anyone looking for towing mirrors.
Compact clearview mirrors – I just brought and had compact clearview mirrors fitted to my BT50. They are set to low, you can only see half the passengers mirror from the driver's side as the other half is lower than the window.
High Quality product – Purchased for my 300 Series Sahara for towing, and swapped out the upper mirror for the convex as I prefer a wider field of view. Installed them myself and the instructions were perfectly detailed and thorough with clear pictures of each and every step. I would highly recommend them whether towing or not. Show details
The best customer service – My RG Colorado mirrors power fold function failed, and Clearview repaired the fault and returned the item at no cost to me. The clearview mirrors are a great product and the service backup is outstanding. Thank you Clearview Accessories team Show details
Corrosion issues and difficulty extending – I bought a used but well maintained car (2.5 years old ) with Clearview towing mirrors already fitted. Though obviously quite new both mirrors are showing oxidation of the paint, especially around the base plate. This seems to be a common problem. Also, I cannot get the mirrors to fully extend out. When I spoke to Clearview in Melbourne for advice… Read more
and help I wasn’t impressed with the response. Basically, was told to take the mirrors off the car and return them to Melbourne for inspection and any costs would be at my expense. I didn’t think that was a viable solution cos I am not confident in removing the mirrors and would then have a car without any mirrors. I was also concerned about the unknown cost of such an exercise, as no estimate was given as to what I would be up for to repair. I suggest caution with this product unless you live in Melbourne. But really, do you want to be arguing with the manufacturer?.…..I am just going to look for an alternative solution for towing mirrors.

Good experience with warranty – I have been loving the Clearview tow mirrors on the Ranger. One failed recently though and I was worried after reading some of the reviews. It seems they have made positive changes. Got some advice about resetting the power fold function that didn't quite work. After a couple of videos sent over emails, had a full replacement delivered and they organise pick up of the defective mirror. Very happy! Show details
Warranty Claim – Fitted new Clearview mirrors October 23 and have had early signs of corrosion on arm near door. Company I bought them from has folded rang Clearview warranty department and after filling out required claim new mirrors arrived at my home and they paid for refit at another dealer. Thank you could not have been easier. Show details
Terrible customer service – Terrible customer service experience. Brand new Next Gen Clearview towing mirrors purchased and when attempting to adjust the lower mirror section manually (as not electronic) the mirror cracked. Attempted to speak with company direct with very poor customer service and no ownership that this was a defect/manufacturing weakness.Disappointed that a new product has failed so early in our travels.

Great Experience – Had an issue with my new Next Gen mirrors on my new Everest Sport. A Ford dealer here had no idea how to fix here in Adelaide. What they did made the problem worse . Rang Clearview Direct. They were excellent & referred me to Halls Tow Bars - Adelaide. What an outstanding experience from start to finish. From initial investigations , approval &… Read more
refitting. I arrived today on time. I was out about an hour later.
The Next Gens are an awesome unit . Pity others don't invest the monies to get good mirrors . & thank god for a great warranty

Don’t buy – NEXT GEN Mirrors have just been fitted to my new Land Cruiser 300 VERY DISAPPOINTING with an outcome bordering on dangerous. Drivers side is OK However passenger side large flat mirror when not extended and adjusted so you can just see the side of the car will not pickup traffic in the lane next to you, let alone further lanes to the left.… Read more
According to the 4x4 dealership they are not adjustable, Clear view customer service has not bothered to respond.
Good but needs improvement – I had my mirrors fitted by Clearview, to my Ford Everest. Given the price of installation I felt it was worth it for any possible warranty issues. the mirror bodies are excellent and although I was concerned about making the blind-spot even bigger, which it does but not by much, and there's no significant vibration. The right-hand (drivers) mirror… Read more
is great, really clear and I can set it so I can see everything. The left-hand (passenger side) mirror is the opposite. At first I thought, it needed a bit of getting used to, having spent all these years with a convex mirror on the left, but I still can't get it correct. the large flat mirror is all but useless and the very small convex mirror cannot cover the left lane. If Clearview came up with a replacement mirror I purchase them and swap them out. then 'd give them 5 stars
As you can see I wasn't very impressed with the passenger side mirror initially. I have since… Read more
These mirrors are the best! – I have had theses mirrors for 4 years. They are great! I had a problem when they were out of warrant. Clearview helped, they in fact where great Show details
Great mirrors for Towing a Van – I had them fitted to my Nissan Navara, towing a fifth wheeler. No problem with adjusting the main mirror, although the bottom mirror had to be adjusted by hand. No problems with the mirrors in the 5 years I had them. Show details
warranty claims – I purchased a set of compact mirrors from a local retailer on 31/8/22. Three weeks ago i applied for a warrant claim. After three calls to my retailer,i have been told they miss placed my claim,and they are very busy and they might be able to responed next week. It appears, after sales servive or warranty is not important to clearview. In the mean time my mirror will not extend on slide in as they should
Clearview mirrors, puddle lights – Installed some next gen clearview mirrors on ford ranger 2014 having a problem with the puddle lights they stay on for at least 5 minutes after interior lights go out plus stay on while driving. Anyone had this problem
RAM Next Gen Towing Mirrors. Retail direct $1680 + $45 post. Hate them with a passion – Left mirror you can't see nothing out of it. The flat glass is hopeless & near to the point of being dangerous. I have an issue with the mirror motorised adjustment that doesn't matter which way I press the adjustment dial the mirror only comes straight in. Rang Clearview & was quite abrupt about the whole situation, kept saying you need to take… Read more
photos & send it in, the right hand mirror snapped the top bolt off without hardly any pressure, only was using a short racket ¼ socket set with a 10mm socket It was the whole attitude that got me cheesed that he didn't give a rats, as if I was an idiot that had no idea of what I was doing. Was told tgat what they can tell with a photo & to the normal person can't see, that they can see in a photo I suggested that in my opinion they need to have more lighting of a Clear & Amber as per the Factory Mirrors , I was told then they WOULD NOT be compliant Come on CLEARVIEW you have the right idea but it appears that your staff could be your downfall after sales service should be #1, especially in such a small tight niche market
