MILENCO GRAND AERO TOWING MIRROR (PACK of 2)

A week before we were due to go away, my husband asked me to look for a set of replacement towing mirrors as his last cheap set he'd had for decades had just broken. I did the usual research online and decided upon these. Once he recovered after I told him the price (silly man thought I would buy cheap.. after 30 years of marriage you'd have thought he would've learned :)) Anyway I was given the OK to buy and did not regret our decision. First journey out and less than 5 minutes in I heard the comment 'should have got these years ago' and have heard this several times since too. They feel well made, very stable and fit our (nearly classic) 1999 Landrover Discovery mirrors well. Far easier to put on and take off than the old mirrors which had 2 straps that wrapped over the back of the mirror. The brackets/clips on the old pair were clumsy so would not allow door mirror to be adjusted electrically, we don't have this issue now. They give far a better and far safer viewing area of the road, the traffic, our Bailey Barcelona twin axle caravan and the blind spot we had with the old towing mirrors on the n/s has now gone.Learning from our mistakes: If there's one piece of advice I could give it would be this... over the years we have had many caravans and cars but always towed with the same mirrors and what we've learnt from this experience is to invest in a good pair.. not all towing mirrors do the same job, yes our old cheap pair did the job but these are safer and have so many more advantages.

Whilst waiting to get our caravan we bought all the essentials including towing mirrors and went for middle of the road ones that seemed to be well recommended. From the moment we drove off with the caravan I didn't have any confidence in them and have never been 100% happy with them. We eventually decided to try something else knowing that Amazon's excellent returns policy meant we could always return if not happy so we went for these Milenco ones. WOW! What a difference, we used these for the first time at the weekend and the difference is out of this world. The price is just over double what we paid for the original ones but I would have happily paid more after seeing how good they are. We were thinking about getting a rear view camera to supplement the old mirrors but no need for that now with these ones! Couldn't recommend these more, if you are struggling with your existing mirrors give these a go, I'm glad we did.

Bought these wing mirrors as they fit onto my present car quite well. They were bought as a replacement for the same wing mirrors as the glass cracked in one of them.

The description of these mirrors tells you that they will fit all cars manufactured after a certain date, which is fine. The description also tells you that they will fit all cars except the Mercedes GL. Well, I've got a Mercedes ML and this car has automatic folding mirrors, so as soon as the car is locked the mirrors fold in and the Milenco extensions crash into the side windows.Fortunately there is very little pressure on the folding mirror motors so 'crash' is probably an exageration, but the first time you witness this it's a heart stopping sight. I subsequently spent two hours stripping the new mirrors, re-positioning the arms & brackets several times and eventually got to a stage where the new mirrors gave me a good rearview and only collided with the side windows slightly when folded. The pressure on the side windows is negligibe. I'm quite fastideous about my car and wouldn't use these mirrors if I thought there was the slightest chance of damage to the windows, but I'm now satisfied.The rearview from these new mirrors is really good, but I've yet to use them on the road.

The mirrors are large, they do stick out a fair bit, but are infinitely adjustable. be careful when fitting and make sure that the mirror is securely attached to the metal rod before adjusting, its easy to undo the wrong part of the clamp and find the mirror sliding off the pole. the mirrors have some slight distortion but don't interfere with the viewing experience.These mirrors give a far better view of the road behind a caravan and they do not vibrate as much as my previous pair of mirrors (had rubber bands to hold onto mirror and were small in comparison). my only gripe is that having a 2014 Kia Sorento it meant I had to purchase the set of 4 V pads in order for them to fit correctly, at a considerable extra cost.

I have been using this model of towing mirror for many years and always found them to be ideal bother for vision, ease of fitting and stability.Unfortunately I had to replace these recently due to one felling off on the motorway. This was not due to any fault on the mirror but mine for not tightening it up correctly. But the new ones are even better especially with the longer arm. My old ones must have been at least 10 years old.

Mirrors are good and are tight on the ball joints when adjusting so won't shift in use. The clamps for clamping onto the vehicle mirror are good quality and hold really well. However, the arms that are supplied position the mirror too far aft if you have large deep mirrors (mine are on a VW Amarok) found on many 4 x 4's. I ordered 12mm tube and bent my own to position the mirrors in the correct position for me on my vehicle.

I replaced my cheap and cheerful strap on mirrors with a convex pair of Milenco mirrors and they are brilliant. I have a VW Sharan and they fastened to the top of the mirrors with the screw down clamps. I was concerned the clamps may distort or damage the plastic casing on the door mirrors when tightened but the rubber seal prevents this. No cheap looking components, all top quality and they fit in seconds.When towing I can see the full height of the caravan and there is plenty of room left to see a lot more. Great for looking at the caravan wheels when turning tight corners and keeping an eye on the near side when travelling on narrow roads.A quality product which gives me reassurance when towing my caravan that I have excellent visibility behind me.
