Well I'm glad my last post made a few giggles, but this is on a more serious note.

When we bought our Ranger a few months back, my father had to tow it back for us as our Kia Sedona was waiting for the towbar to be fitted. The sale of the Ranger included everything from Kettle to Awning. Imagine my surprise the other day when after spending the whole morning washing and polishing the van, I'd thought I'd see if the mirrors actually fitted the car...............Damn..They dont fit !!! The plastic surround to the mirror is to deep.

Any recomendations from Sedona drivers what mirrors they have, we have these http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/redirect.asp?redir=http://www.towsure.com/product.asp?p=2789 which are expensive mirrors, but alas no good for our car.......Unless I'm missing a few brain cells this morning, which could be the case due to the number of voddies I downed last night!!!

Hi MandK,

 

I have an 03 Sedona and I use these

http://www.milenco.com/mirror-milenco.html

I tried the cheap rubber strap on ones and they dont fit the large Kia mirrors. The Milenco ones are pretty much vibration free and because the Kia mirrors are quite large give you an excellent view down both sides of the van

The suck it and see mirrors are great, except that they will not stick to wet mirrors - very difficult to fit in the rain (from bitter experience.)

Milenco Limited

Aero Towing Mirror

For more than a decade Milenco towing mirrors have led the market, out performing all others in comparative product tests. The Milenco Aero towing mirror is totally new for 2007 and are out in the shops for the first time this weekend. It has been designed to offer superior vision and a vibration free view far past your caravan. It also complies with the very latest European regulations, and meets all legal requirements in every EU member state. This mirror also complies with the very latest pedestrian safety laws and is engineered to minimise injury in the event of an accident.

This is a very high quality product and is manufactured with the highest quality materials available. The mirror screws are high-grade stainless steel and turn in brass inserts that will never corrode. The mirror glass is chrome safety glass.

The unique and new clamping system (patent pending) offers an outstanding and versatile system, which is engineered to fit all current 2007 cars, 4x4’s and vans. This system has easy to use thumb wheels on tilting axis, which enable the clamps to ‘shape’ to the contours of the vehicles mirror, allowing totally versatile fitting. Another innovation of this design is the upgraded gripper system, so you do not loose the grip pads. This design also does away with unreliable straps that transfer vibration.

The mirror head design (Registered Design applied for) utilises airflow around your car to stabilise and balance the mirror head at speed. This mirror has been extensively tested at speeds up to 250kph (155 mph), to ensure that you get the best vision possible. This design also offers superior performance in high winds and the effect of passing large commercial vehicles has been minimised.

The Law

If you caravan is wider than your car, it is a legal requirement that you fit additional mirrors on both sides. If your car is fitted with door mirrors approved to ece 2003/97 or ece 2005/27, or was a new car after 26th January 2007, your towing mirrors may project up to 25 cm beyond the widest point of the caravan. For older cars, your mirrors may project up to 20 cm.

 

We hope you find this information of interest and use.
