Towing Mirrors

This topic came up a while back but I wanted to share my thoughts. 

I just received a set of Milenco Grand Aero ([a href="http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B0095TC6I6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1"]Grand Aero[/a]) mirrors from Amazon.  This is the second type of towing mirror I've purchased, the first was a Cipa universal mirror ([a href="http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00029WRKU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1"]Cipa Universal[/a])  This mirror didn't stay securely fastened to my truck mirror very well and the vibration was pretty noticeable.  I did like the extra visibility but half the time I was worried about the mirror coming off the truck and bouncing down the road.

The Grand Aero mirrors attach with a screw driven clamp and are very easy to put on and take off. Right off the bat I can see that they will be staying attached firmly and I don't think there will be much vibration. There are 2 mirrors in the package and mirror surfaces are also bigger then the Cipa mirrors.  I haven't had a chance to actually use them yet but if anyone is thinking about mirrors I'd give these a look.

Those are the same mirrors I have they are really good! Previously I had one with strap and I lost one on the highway!

That's great to hear Paul, well the good part, not the losing one on the highway part.
