CIPA 5" Stainless Steel Convex Blind Spot Mirror — 5" Round, L-Bracket Mount, Adjustable Swivel

The CIPA 48502 is a 5-inch stainless steel convex blind spot mirror that mounts via an L-shaped bracket and expands your field of view for safer lane changes and passing.

Designed for drivers who need a reliable, low-profile solution to reduce blind spots, this compact convex mirror pairs a polished stainless-steel finish with a ball-and-socket swivel for full adjustability. It fits center-mounted blind spot mirror applications and works with standard mirror bracketry, making it a straightforward add-on for many vehicle mirror setups. The 5" diameter balances a broad viewing angle with a discreet footprint, and replacement brackets are available separately if you want different mounting options.

How does this mirror improve visibility on the road?

The convex surface increases the visible area behind and beside your vehicle, helping you spot cars in adjacent lanes that might otherwise remain hidden. It’s especially useful when merging, changing lanes, or passing on highways. The stainless-steel face resists corrosion and stays reflective in varied conditions.

• 5-inch convex glass yields a wide field of view for blind-spot coverage
• Curved mirror minimizes hidden zones without taking up much space
• Durable stainless-steel finish holds up to outdoor exposure

How do I install and adjust the CIPA 48502 mirror?

Installation is simple: the mirror uses an L-shaped bracket to attach to compatible bracketry or mounting points. The ball-and-socket joint allows smooth multi-directional adjustment so you can fine-tune the angle from the driver’s seat. Replacement or alternate brackets can be swapped in if you need a different mount style.

• Includes an L-shaped mounting bracket for center-mounted setups
• Ball-and-socket adjusts in all directions for precise aiming
• Compatible with standard mirror brackets; replacement brackets sold separately

What size and finish options are available?

This model is the 5" stainless-steel version, but CIPA also makes the mirror in black and in multiple diameters to suit different sightlines and vehicle types. Larger sizes increase visible area while smaller sizes remain unobtrusive. Heated and offset-mount HotSpot-style mirrors are offered for other use cases where de-icing or different positioning is needed.

• Available in 5" (this listing), plus 6", 7.5", and 8.5" diameters
• Also offered in black and in heated or offset-mount variants
• Single mirror per package for flexible installation choices

Will this mirror fit my vehicle’s existing mirror setup?

The CIPA 48502 is built for center-mounted blind-spot applications and attaches using the included L-bracket to standard mirror bracketry. If your existing mount uses a different style, replacement brackets from CIPA can be purchased separately to adapt the mirror to your hardware. Verify bracket compatibility before installation to ensure a secure fit.

• Center-mounted design works with many standard mirror assemblies
• Replacement brackets available when a different mount is required
• Compact 5" size fits a wide range of vehicle mirror housings

It’s also a good choice for people who prefer stainless-steel finishes and need a small, easily adjustable convex mirror that integrates with existing bracketry.
