This product is perfect as an add-on for the boat to watch for skiers, tubes, etc. that you are pulling. Goes on easily and comes off quickly when not needed. Would definitely recommend it.

Mirror works well for helping me see when I get my daughter up on her wakeboard, or when pulling a tube. You do lose sight of riders as they pass far to the right side of the boat, since your body blocks the view. This may be solved with a wider mirror, but I'm not sure. Attachment points seem a little weak, but we have had no problem with it so far. You do get a fair amount of vibration in the mirror, but I suspect that this would be the case with any mirror. Good choice for the price.

No matter how I tighten the screw attachment a slight bump or a gust of wind dislodges this mirror. A permanent glue or screw attachment is probably better.

Its a little small to see your wakeboarder all the way out in the flats...but for $15 it does its job. Mounts are OK, but leave scratches on your window frame.

Unfortunately this item is made from cheap, unreinforced plastic. The U-shaped bracket that goes over the windshield frame will crack at the corner and slowly come apart. I assumed this would happen when i looked at it and didn't tighten it at first, but then the mirror kept vibrating loose - once it was properly fastened, the cracks developed in the corners.

This mirror has a nice wide view. Got it at a great price with free shipping.
Nice quality, fast shipping!

The second time I used it the mirror section broke off from the base while I was adjusting it. Some epoxy putty will probably get it back to useable. I glued some old mouse pad pieces on both sides of the clamp to help avoid breaking my curved plexiglas windscreen.

the mirror itself is clear and the curvature is about right for my use. I just wish it had been a little sturdier.
