I bought this mirror to replace my OEM mirror in a Ford Focus (the reflective surface is beginning to deteriorate around the edges after 10 years). The quality of this mirror is very poor compared to the OEM mirror. The entire mirror vibrates constantly while the car is running--the original mirror does not do this. I tightened the mirror securely, so it was not vibrating because it was loose. The OEM mirror doesn't even use a screw--it simply clips on, so tightness of the connection should not be the issue. Also, the image reflected in this mirror is distorted. While the quality of the reflection is not particularly important in a rearview mirror, I found that it was so distracting to see a vibrating, distorted image every time I glanced up that I just couldn't use it.

I did like that it adjusts a little higher up than the OEM mirror. Construction quality is fine for the price. But if you think you will also be distracted by vibrations or a distorted image, I would look elsewhere.

UPDATE 10/28/2011: I ended up buying a replacement mirror from Ford. It uses a different design than my original mirror--it has a metal clip instead of a plastic one, which requires you to slide it down on the mounting base harder than it seems like you should for something mounted to glass. The OEM replacement is completely vibration-free and the glass surface is smooth and distortion-free, and it's even a little larger than my old mirror. It did cost a little more, but it was not unreasonable.

I might recommend this mirror if your OEM mirror is extremely expensive, unavailable, or was itself of poor quality, and you just need to see what's behind you. But if you're happy with the mirror it's replacing, I'd at least price an OEM replacement before resorting to this one.

We bought this replacement for our 2004 Chevy Malibu and it installed effortlessly with only a screw driver. It's a high quality product and has worked great for several months now.

I ordered the CIPA 32000 10" mirror to replace the one in my car. I chose the CIPA because it's an exact replacement. What I got was a Donnely Model #240 oval shaped mirror shipped in a CIPA box. Seems like there's some shenanigans going on in the warehouse! Returned product for refund.

I just bought this mirror as a replacement and it works fine. Note the mirror comes with the metal tab to mount you only need some glue note the mounting kit that is recommended.

Easy to attach it to the windshield. I don't know why it said was not compatible to my car, because what it needed is just attach to a windshield.
Good stuff for that price

I as well received a Donnelly 240 mirror instead of a Cipa 32000. The Donnelly mirror is not dimming correctly and I am returning the product. I'd much rather have the rectangular Cipa mirror over the oval Donnelly (which I've never heard of) Be careful..There are other websites with the Cipa mirror for similiar prices, you may want to check them out.

I was a little skeptical about buying this mirror for my 94 Jeep Cherokee. But once I installed it it is a great replacemment and I am happy with it. Went right on the factory mount.

It is clear and the flip thing works fine. It fit my stock mount on my windshield perfectly. It does come with a mount for you to use, just no glue. But, as I said, it fit my old one with no problems at all.

Very lite and simple and good mirror surface for the price. I have had a heavier mirror and it fell off twice. This mirror is a great cheap replacement.

Bought this to replace a broken OEM mirror on my 2007 Mazda5 GT. It fits perfectly, and is larger than the original. No complaints at all.
