Just thought I would leave a small review about the mirror that I bought for our holiday to South Lea Caravan Park Pocklington (not far from york) I travelled from Burnley in lancashire to South Lea which is a mixture of motorways and A roads and had no problems at all, it took seconds to fit. I will be getting the passenger side mirror now when shop gets them in.(Shop only had the flat ones in stock and they recommend the convex for passenger side).

I don't think this matters as they are universal but I tow with a Mondeo Estate 55 plate.

Also if you want to adjust the mirror you can do so with the electric mirror on your car as it is attached to the mirror glass and not the mirror housing which will be handy on the passenger side.

Hope this helps

i've used mine for 4 years and touch wood they havn't fell off once but at least if they did you wouldn't lose it.

I tried the suck it and se specifically for the passenger side so that I could use the electrical adjuster - it fell off every time I used it - hence the fact it's in the  garage. Also I didn't like the way it obscured the existing mirror and the actual head is quite small and they're not cheap.

Their suitability depends on how resessed your mirror glass is from the mirror housing.

At first (trying them at the dealer) on our Zafira they appeared great as I loved the ability to adjust them from the drivers seat, but in use I found that they (flat for drivers side, convex passenger) impeded too far much of the main mirror and also that the position you had the mirror adjust to either the towing mirror or the main mirror was wrong.

Perhaps because of the inset of the mirror I was pressing the arm against the housing, but since January they have fallen off at least 6 times (thank goodness for the elastics and no damage to car dispite the bang when the mirror hits).

My mirror shape is unsuitable for the milenco areo mirrors (lost one of them in January) so I now have Milenco clip over mirrors (E marked too) and got the pair for under £12.00!!!  They are not great and wobble a bit, but I still have the whole main mirror and at least I have not thrown too much money down the drain.
