Does it mount over an existing rear view mirror, or does it replace my existing rear view mirror?I'm concerned about getting it attached properly.

It does mount over your existing mirror. It has two spring loaded clips, that goes over the back of the existing mirror, and two suction cups, that hold it to the existing mirror surface. This is important to know. It works well with regular, plain mirrors. If your existing mirror has temperature and direction, or if it has On Star, you will not be able to use those functions.

It has adjustable clips and clips on to the cars existing rear-view mirror !! On some newer cars, however with all the new electronics now , some car mirrors have functions that may interfere with this camera .!! ??

Directly over existing mirror. You open up the clamps wider than you attached mirror and is clamps over top. (suction cups also help attach mirror). Be sure the camera lens is not covered up by the existing mirror.

It is supposed to snap over your existing mirror, but your mirror had better be very thin. I mounted mine over the mirror in my MDX. It popped off and the very thin, very dark mirror shattered. I it infield Amazon and was told that I had to deal with the seller who is in Asia. I had to pay $29 to mail this defective item to Asia. The post office cannot track packages overseas. It apparently never arrived so I lost the $169 I paid for the item, plus the $29 for mailing. Amazon would not back me up in any way, even though I have been an Amazon Prime member for years. Apparently you are not buying the item from Amazon, but from some random vendor in Asia. Save your money. It is supposed to snap over your existing mirror, but your mirror had better be very thin.

It mounts over the existing rear view mirror. It is very easy to install, i have like zero experience with things that have to do with vehicles. The easy part will be mounting it, the moderately tricky part is hiding the cable which i was able to do after a few minutes of working on it, trust me the cable is long enough to be tucked in the ceiling, dash, and beyond.

No it didn't work for me. This is a very flimsy and cheap looking product in a very cheap packaging. I have in mounted right next to the rear mirror on the passenger side and have the wire running from the mirror housing.

Your existing mirror is bolted onto the door. Just use the same bolts to attach the new mirror to the vehicle. Just pop off the panel on the inner side of the door and the bolts will be visible.

If you have the auto-dimming rearview, there is a black "box" where the mirror mounts to the windshield. Basically, it just means the "U" they cut out for the mirror is big enough to accommodate that. If you had a "regular mirror" it won't affect the installation of this shade at all.

It goes over your rearview mirror and replaces the one your car this. It takes about 5 miles to get use to the new view it provides.

It's best to mount this behind the Rearview mirror. Some cars have too steep of a windshield. You are better off using the 3M adhesive mount. (much shorter) There is also a 3rd party ball sock mount if you search for RCPANO2S360

The best spot for it is on the winshield right under the rearview mirror. It attaches with adhesive tape.

There is a section on the back of the Auxiliary Mirror cases that pop off and allows access to two screw holes and allow a clip in the bottom of the unit to open up as you loosen them and be slid over the housing around the vehicles side view mirrors. Once in place you tighten these two screws directly to your vehicles housing and then clip the case backing back onto the Auxilary Mirror and your done. But the two screws (which are flat tipped and not pointed) are what secures the top of the clip directly to your side view mirrors.

It is a full mirror, it clips over your existing mirror. It is slightly larger than your original mirror. It hangs over the sides and the camera is on one side. There is a small monitor on the right side but since the mirror is larger you still have at least the same amount of mirror surface.

Hi, it mounts to the frame in front by way of the windshield bracket/cover. The cover is replaced by the cover provided by the product. It mounts to the rear by way of the same brackets that are used for the bumper. It's pretty genius. Make sure you get the right size as I got the one for the four door, but I have a two door. A band saw fixed this issue for me.

No but your regular mirror underneath will do that since this basically just fits over your existing mirror. By the way, I love it and you can see so much better. I plan to buy another.

No. There are products intended for this purpose that would be better. Search for "rear view mirror adhesive".

fst, did you order this? Does it fit? I have a new 2014 Rav4 that my existing after market mirror won't fit over. Thanks!

It fit over my mirror which has On Star buttons. In my case, the mirror blocks the On Star buttons completely, but I don't have the On Star subscription, anyway.In my '04 Monte Carlo SS, there's just enough room on the driver's side for the camera. =)

Spring loaded snaps on the back. But if I could have a redo.. I would have bought the Razo convex mirror. it has a wider view, IMO.

It has to have something to secure itself onto but if there is still part of your original housing to clamp onto it will be a decent replacement, certain a wider field of view. The adjustments to the angulation of the mirror in the housing are somewhat limited. It definitely reduces the blind spot considerably which is why I use it though a few degrees more adjustability would have been nice.
