I have bought a couple of sets of 'old-fashioned' towing mirrors from ebay over the years. I have a set which slot into the window aperture and have a rubber tensioning strap which then goes under the bottom edge of the door. The other set has two arms which go between the bonnet and front wing while a third arm goes under the wheelarch and is tensioned by a spring. Both sets are so much better than the modern stuff which clamps to the mirror housing, or attaches by a sucker to the mirror itself. They are much more secure, vibrate less, have a better view, and are much cheaper. Granted, they are heavier, harder to store as they are more bulky, and perhaps less attractive, but I want function above all in a towing mirror.
