I have just changed my towcar for a 2016 VW Toureg V6 diesel which is regarded as a really good towcar and very popular with CC members.
Unfortunately I cannot make my Milenco Aero towing mirrors fit to the car mirrors due to their shaped profile and very narrow gap between glass and plastic casing.
Has anyone overcome this problem?
What type of towing mirrors are best for this model Toureg??

I too have a T3 Treg and agree it's the best tow car I've owned as well. I have Grand Aeros and although it's a bit of a tight fit, it is possible to get the clips between the mirror lens and the mirror housing on the top of the mirror. On my last one - a T2 - they wouldn't fit on the top but fitted on the bottom of the mirror easily. I'm just wondering if it's anything to do with how your normal mirrors are set - although you might loose some of your view, it might be a matter of moving the lens slightly to accommodate the clips/brackets? Obviously that setting is going to vary between cars and drivers, so I might just be lucky.

Boxster - the other thing I tend to do is slide the clips (attached to the arm) from the outside (where there is a bit more clearance) to the inside and then don't be afraid to push them in gently. The first time, I was a bit worried about damaging the lens but I have been using them for almost three years now, on this car, without any adverse effects.
