RE: [A/S] Mirrors




Hi Peg
We use McKesh mirrors. They are easy to put on and easy to take off. They
have to be set and tightened into the desired position or they will go out
of adjustment, just like any other mirror. 
The only troubles I've had with them, are that the straps do abrade on the
door side and if they are put on over a dirty vehicle door, they will abrade
the paint. Where they hook onto the door window ledge, they also will damage
the seal around the window. Also we have had the mirror work its way loose
in the holder. You have to keep checking that they are secure or they could
end up on the road.
If I had my druthers (which never seems to be the case) I'd find out how to
put west coast mirrors on my Suburban. These are the truck sized mirrors
that you see on the semi's. I figure you can never have big enough mirrors.
In my opinion, they provide the best view of any mirror currently on the
market for trailer towing, short of going to west coast style mirrors.
Frankly some vehicles just wont fit west coast mirrors.
