CIPA OE Chrome Side Mirror Replacement Head, 5 x 8 in Flat Glass — Direct-Fit Ford-Style with Ball-and-Socket Aim

Replacement OE-style chrome mirror head with 5" x 8" flat glass, fits Ford-style truck and van mounts and installs using existing hardware.

This CIPA 95500 chrome mirror head is built to match original equipment dimensions so you can swap a damaged or worn mirror without modifying your vehicle. The unit uses a ball-and-socket pivot for flexible aiming, accepts the same mounting holes and fasteners as the factory piece, and ships with the bolt and lock washer needed to secure the head. The polished chrome housing and 5" x 8" flat glass combine classic appearance with broad rearward visibility for commercial trucks, vans, and many pickup mirror assemblies.

How does this mirror head attach to my existing Ford-style housing?

The CIPA 95500 is made to replace factory mirror heads using the original mounting holes and hardware, so no drilling or body modification is required. It secures with the included bolt and lock washer and uses a ball-and-socket joint for final aiming.

• Direct-fit for many Ford-style truck and van mirror assemblies
• Uses existing mounting holes—no drilling needed
• Includes one bolt and one lock washer for installation
• Bracket or arm not included; swaps onto compatible mounts

What size and viewing type is the glass, and how does it affect visibility?

This replacement head contains a flat glass mirror sized approximately 5" x 8", giving an undistorted field of view suitable for close to mid-range traffic and lane awareness. Flat glass gives true-to-scale reflections—helpful for judging distance directly beside the vehicle.

• 5 inch by 8 inch flat mirror surface
• True-scale reflections reduce size distortion
• Well suited for side awareness and parking maneuvers
• Not convex—choose differently if you need widened field of view

What materials and durability features does this replacement have?

The housing is chrome-finished for a corrosion-resistant exterior that matches many OEM trim aesthetics. CIPA manufactures to original-equipment specifications with heavy-duty construction so the head stands up to road vibration and daily commercial use.

• Chrome-plated housing for weather resistance and style
• Rugged, heavy-duty construction for longevity
• Ball-and-socket mount allows secure, adjustable aiming
• Packaged with fastening hardware to simplify replacement

Who is this mirror head best for? This part suits vehicle owners, fleet managers, and repair shops replacing damaged or worn right- or left-hand mirror heads on Ford-style trucks and vans who prefer a direct-fit, mirror-only swap. It’s ideal when you have an existing mounting bracket or arm and need an OEM-dimension chrome head with a flat 5" x 8" glass surface. If you require the arm, bracket, or a convex wide-angle glass, check compatibility or choose an alternate CIPA assembly that includes those components.
