Skoda Kodiaq Towing Mirrors

Skoda Kodiaq: Great Tow car. Very pleased with it.

Other than...... The mirrors. I have the Milenco Grand Aero mirrors from my land rover, but the Kodiaq mirrors have an chamfer around the lip of the mirror which the Milenco clamp doesn't grip very well. 

Anyone got a solution to this? The CC review of the Kodiaq briefly mentioned the mirrors. I am concerned that on a long journey the will work loose and come off. I am reluctant to have to buy new mirrors if I can avoid it.

 

thanks in advance

Many thanks for the help and advice. Rather than rely on the internet and guess work, I went to my local dealer to actually compare my mountings (bought in 2007) with the new Aero 3 mountings. I could see zero difference and indeed neither could the dealer! Mounting on the bottom of the mirror feels much more secure, but won't let the mirrors fold in. Checking the instruction manual for the car, however, I have found the menu setting to disable the "fold in on lock" option so the mirrors stay out.

 

Fingers crossed - a solution seems to have been found

Just to put your mind at rest, I had exactly the same problem with my last Touareg and I fitted them on the bottom of the mirror and used them during the two years I had that car with no problems whatsoever.  The new Treg has slightly different mirrors and they fit on the top OK.
