Welcome to the forum, Adam, and congratulations on your purchase. What are you using for a tow vehicle?

Jammer,

I think he might have some kind of Mercedes. Maybe a GL320. Just guessing.

What kind of tow vehicle will you use?

Ah, it's probably something other than a Mercedes GL320. But I'm 60% sure it's a Mercedes something.
I think I saw it on the uToob.

I just wanted to share a tip about the Aero's that might save you some grief. As I was driving down the highway last weekend, one of mine flew off and shattered to bits. And I am obsessive about tightening them. I think that you have to be careful because when you open and close the doors it must jar them loose. Always be sure to re-secure them. They are still great mirrors.

Great mirrors! They rotate up for even more view ... the downside is that they are always "out there".

The tow vehicle is a Mercedes GL320

I posted a thread a while back about a great bargain I found on Amazon for a pair of CIPA slide on mirrors for my Suburban. Advertised as "used but like new" and in fact they were/are new. Got some feedback from folks who prefer other mirrors, that the CIPA mirrors vibrate, are hard to see out of, etc. I wonder if those guys have ever used them. I just returned from a round trip to Florida (1800 miles) and the mirrors worked flawlessly. Absolutely NO vibration. From the driver's mirror I could see the rear running light on the trailer (it was blocked on the passenger side by the awning posts) and as far behind me as my old eyes could see. Not sure how I ever towed without then. Easy on/easy off, look like OEM mirrors and do not impede the folding mirror option on the Suburban.
Personally cannot think of a mirror that would be better. But I suspect someone out there might disagree.

I have both the McKesh and Aero mirrors. Still trying to decide which I like better. The Aero's are much less "fussy" to install, haven't had any issues with stability. The McKesh's are "out there" a little bit further -- which is both a curse and a blessing. Interestingly, I get an "almost" equivalent view with my standard QX56 mirrors -- left side slightly better than right side. Go figure...
