Just got a 2025 Q5 and can’t find anything that will bolt on towing mirrors to fit it? Even the German manufacturer Emuk who make a set for the car say they don’t fit the British model. Any ideas?
I have used strap-on mirrors for years. The set I have I have used on 3 different cars, although I did have to buy longer straps when I bought my X Trail because the fitted mirrors are bigger than those on the previous two cars. I would imagine they would fit anything. In my opinion they are far less likely to come adrift than the clamp-on types and don't damage the mirrors' outer shell either.
I've had lots of Audis - most recently Q5 diesels and used cheap strap-on mirrors - with some extra long straps bought on Ebay. Good luck with your Q5 - I hope you have the factory/ dealer fit towbar fitted and make sure they know what you want by way of connections with the wiring.

Are there any particular make that you would recommend?
I have both Maypole and Raydyot strap on mirrors. The Raydyot were more expensive and have a smaller lens, but are better quality. The attachment straps and grips are much stronger, and combined with their extra weight are harder to dislodge.
Both have fitted a variety of cars without any problems, including my current Alfa Stelvio which has large mirrors.
