Hi EBM1952
Although a lot of people on here dislike them I use suck it & see , I have used them for over 7 years now without any problem on several tow cars & like the way you can fine tune them via the electric mirror motor

The suction part that goes on the mirrors is only 70mm wide & the mirrors on my Kuga are 190mm wide so that still leaves 120mm of mirror usable, as I said I know a lot of people hate them but I find them brill, I have been towing caravans since the early 80s & had all sorts of towing mirrors from the ones that fasten on door window frame & bottom of door held on by bungees to the ones held on with straps around the mirror body & found these suck it & see easiest to use but I know they're not for everyone

I use the suck it and see mirrors as we change our car fairly often and I didn't want to buy an expensive set of mirrors and then find they didn't fit the next car. I've used these mirrors since 2011 on 3 different cars and they have fitted all of them without any problem, our car is being changed again in the next few weeks and the mirrors on the new car look difficult to fit conventional mirrors to so the suction type seems to be the only option at the moment.
The part that sticks on the mirror is fairly small and doesn't obstruct any useful part of the lens, the only problem I've had is when adjusting the mirror sometimes the metal stalk touches the mirror casing but this is overcome by repositioning the mirror by a few mm.

I found that prolonged use of suck it n see towing mirrors loosened the mirror glass from the mounting inside the cars mirror housing...
Needless to say I am back to the milenco type mirrors now

We used the Milenco Aero mirrors on our Kuga. No problems what-so-ever. Great mirrors.
