Towing Mirors For Mk3 C5 Tourer?

[Sixchannel]

Hi all

 I have just discovered (although no real surprise) that the old towing mirrors from my Xantia do not fit on the pretty shaped mirrors on "Ethel", our 2010 C5 Tourer..

Any members tow with a C5 Tourer and can advise / recommend on suitable (and hopefully not too expensive) mirrors that will do the job??

cheers

You've reached the same problem which I arrived at about three months ago. I've used the same pair on a BX, a Xantia and a Mk2 C5, but useless on the X7. I had to buy another pair. The ones I went for are these:- http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Pair-of-Maypole-Extension-Towing-Convex-Glass-Mirrors-Caravan-MP8323-/221261911669?pt=UK_Campervan_Caravan_Accessories&hash=item33843cd675

 

I've used them on two occasions and I find them vibration free and secure. Because of the roundness of the top edge of our mirrors, I find it's best if the two clamps on the towing mirror are placed fairly close together. I tried clamping them on the lower edge which is straighter. In that position the mirrors wouldn't fold.

And not expensive either! Many thanks, Sir
