Is the 4-panel model really clip-on (existing rear view mirror)??? and does NOT require a screw in mount?

I don't own the 4-panel mirror, but the specs say it is over 27 inches long. That seems like a lot of additional weight on your OEM mirror mount. The added weight may make your OEM mirror mount fail especially if it's just glued onto the glass. If that happens, the aftermarket glass adhesives are usually not as good as the OEM glues. If you want a clip-on mirror, go Broadway (but be prepared for "Objects in mirror are actually closer than they appear").

I've used one a long long time ago so I'm not certain that there is one access for a glue on accessory for the windshield while the 5 panel has has certainly 2. It helps stabilize the whole mirror when used with the side brackets for the the 5.

I didn't have any problems mounting it, but I used an older clamp I had in the garage. You might check with the Polaris dealer or look at www.rockymountainmc.com for a clamp that will hold the mirror.

fully extended the mirror exerts cosidrable strain on it's mount , I have installed ours on a backing plate that I made up, so that it would not dig into the gyprock wall that it is mounted on. as to your question I feel a dirll is definitley required.

They are ment to replace any model car rear view mirror, but all car mirrors are not wired the same, this is one of the main reason the On Star manufacturer suggests that it be installed by a professional... although it can be done without having to pay someone, I did mine and I'm no mechanic, just a basic do it yourselfer.

Depends on whether your current rear view mirror is epoxied on. If it is, you're screwed and shouldn't buy the CIPA.

Yes, the primary mount that I spoke of in my review is the windscreen mount. I believe it also comes with a dash mount, but I don't use it.

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.

Yes, since it is a metal frame you can mount it any way you want to. Its a great mirror!

The mirror is attached by using hose clamps w/ rubber backing so they will not slip. the hose clamps will fit around any bar 2.5 inches around or less but can be switch out with any size clamps needed. Also the mirrors can be mounted sideways on overhead roll bars and used as rear view mirrors too

It has to clip on to the original mirror. That's why you don't notice it when you look at it from the outside. Works great.

Either way. It comes with the mirrored sides if you want to surface mount, or don't use them if you want it recessed. I recessed mine and have the 2 side mirrors left over for another project or decorate with.

I tried to find out the same thing, and couldn't get an answer. I ended up buying a mirror separately, and it looks fine.

There is a clamp that attaches the mirror housing the OEM mirror housing. It uses 2 screws to tighten the clamp. Then the glass attaches with a screw that goes in the back of the housing.

I don't have the mirror mount kit. Just the window clip with two suction cups.

You can, but that back panel is what the mirror attaches to. So, if your mirror does not match the lining of the holes on the panel to screw and support your mirror, you will have to drill new holes.

Yes you can definitely access the bottom of the original rear view mirror. There is only a narrow clip on the top and bottom of the attachment.Sorry I'm responding so late, I hope you bought it. I still love mine!
