I’ve tried maypole universal and top clamps won’t fit to the mirror edge. Also ring RCT1420 which is substantial but straps are simply too short. If they were too long we could shorten them but we can’t make them longer!! Please let me know if you’ve got any that work. Ateca 2020. Many thanks. Keith

Milenco Aeros seem to fit most mirror types. They fit my Peugeot Partner which has big van mirrors.

Before you go out and buy a set, maybe pop to your local caravan accessory shop and ask to try them on your car, just to make sure.

XVI yes?

As well is two words!
How does a sage know everything about everything? or does he? or does he just think he does?
Remember, if you buy something you bought it, not brought it.

If you provide your location, perhaps some kind member on here could lend you one to try out.

Usual safety rules etc.

If they are anything like other VAG mirrors, fit them upside down ie to the bottom of the frame. I’ve done that, with Maypole mirrors, to our Škoda.

Also put longer arms on using 12mm alu tubing, which can be bent a bit.

I have Maypole strap-on mirrors. They were fine on my Volvo V70, fine on my Hyundai Tucson that I bought to replace the Volvo, but when I bought a Nissan X Trail to replace that, the straps were too short. I'd had them some years by then, so I was already beginning to think the straps might need replacing soon, so I went on ebay and bought some new, longer straps. Didn't cost much at all, and now they are fine on the X Trail too. Just got back from a trip to Hampshire using them.
