Hi Graang

I have a set that I'm using at the moment. I also bought a set of Milenco ones HERE to try with a view to selling the "surplus" pair on Ebay. I used a set of £9.99 Raydot clip ons before that but they suffer from bad vibration.

The only problem I find with the Suck it and See are the suckers obscure quite a large amount of the car mirror. The adjustment from inside the car is great, with negligible vibration. They are also really easy to fit.

The Milenco ones I prefer for all round vision, but I just snapped the retaining clip trying to fit them to my new car. I've emailed Milenco to enquire about spares. They don't interfere with the existing mirrors vision, but can be a bit of a pain to adjust.

HTH

Paul

I love my mine. Fit every car I've towed with. No damage to the car paint with clips or straps. Easy to fix and adjust. Very little vibration. A really useful bit of kit.

They look good but the only problem I can enviseage is that I use my ordinary mirrors pointing downwards to see the wheels on both sides so I don't clip any kerbs etc; and the extension mirrors for viewing to the rear. I therefore get two views of the caravan. If you stick these on the mirror glass then adjust the mirror you're not going to be able to see much in your ordinary mirrors.

These look like a great solution to an otherwise awkward problem. My only thought is that if they are that easy to put on, they will be equally easy to take off, so are likely to get nicked.

Mmm, I've just thought of a cheap way to get some.......

Have to agree with Paul here, my friend had those suck on mirrors and he lost his passenger side one on the motorway, he swapped to the ones i have the Milenco

He also got peeved off with his suck on mirror pointing downwards when he too looked at the kerb by using his auto adjust in reverse passenger mirror, we did take the P*ss at a BBQ on site once about them, sorry but we think they do suck
