Mercedes ML350 wing mirror extensions.

It has just dawned on me that I need a new set of mirrors because the ones I have for the Tahoe will not fit on this motor.
What do you chaps use.
Cheers,
James.

Similarly, i moved from a Subourban to a GL. There are perhaps better solutions, but I purchased a pair of CIPA model 11953 universal fit mirrors. They clip on top and bottom of the GL's mirror, and have two adjustable. rubber straps that wrap around the mirror housing to secure them.

Consider a rearview camera. I have no blindspots with mine.

I tried several different pop-on mirrors and finally found that the JR Products 2912 Grand Aero Towing Mirror mirrors sold by Amazon work perfectly. These are the original Milenco mirrors and after numerous attempts, were the only extension mirrors I could find that would actually fit the Mercedes super-tight gaps! You'll note that I actually have them mounted using the top gaps as there was less stress on the actual car mirror. You'll also like the fact that they extend far more than you need and once securely attached, are super stable. HINT: Try and position them in as close as possible while still giving you the visibility you need - the closer they are (using less of the extension arm) the less vibration you get.

Towing mirrors for ML 350

I've used the CIPA 11950 and the Fit system 3791. Both work fine. Both purchased from Amazon. I had to replace one I dropped. Oops.

I agree, the Grand Aero Towing Mirror mirrors sold by Amazon work perfectly. These are the original Milenco, which is what mine are still branded. They were the only ones that fit worth a damn, and I have used them for years now and they never loosen, very little vibration distortion, and once you set them where you want, they stay. Well worth the few extra(?) bucks to get.
