Towing mirrors

Thanks.  Is that a model name or a make of vehicle?

I had the problem of my Milenco clamps not holding on and slipping because of the angle on the cars mirror housing.

Solved by putting an old bit of bicycle inner tube over the Milenco clamp, give that a go.

Vauxhall insignia.

Thanks.  Not unusual then, I guess.

Vauxhall's equivalent to the Ford Mondeo.

I tow with a 2014 VW Golf SV and had difficulty trying to get mirrors to fit. I have Milenco Aero mirrors and replaced the original pads with Milenco "V" pads - no problems at all now!

See the Milenco website > Mirrors > Mirror Spares > Pads > V pads and look at photo gallery to see how they fit on the edge of your car mirror mouldings.

Your local caravan dealer might have some but I ordered mine direct from Milenco who were very helpful.

never bought towing mirrors in my life, dealer threw in a pair as part of the deal when i bought my 1st caravan in 1998, still using them, 2 adjustable straps, and a mirror glass you can tilt up and down and sideways  used them on 4 different vehicles, no idea of make but believe they are illegal now as they dont have some fancy kite mark on them. All I have done to them is put a mark O/S & N/S so that i dont get confused . Have driven coaches with so many mirrors you dont know where to look next, but still take a look over my shoulder when overtaking. 

Have you tried adjusting from horizontal to vertical position? 

We had the problem with the Milenco mirrors not fitting securely when we changed the car. We only found out we had a problem when we hitched up the first time. On the first site we visited we had to go to the nearest dealer and get some new ones, cannot remember what they are but the have both straps ans clamps and work very well and are secure.

We use the Milenco mirrors and did so with an Insignia and as mentioned previously searching the Milenco web site I bought 2 new pads with an angled portion which fitted the stepped edge of the door mirror housing.
