The best mirror I have found is from Australia.
Very stable, easy to install on the mirror.

Very little vibration, and you can slide the mirror arm out when your not towing,

I used some "CIPA" brand slip on custom fit mirrors on my 03 Astro towing a 31 foot 73 Soveriegn. They worked well. They were only $60.

I have a set of Mekesh mirrors ,the only problem I had was the strap that went front the bottom of the mirror strap that clips under the door edge
vibrates from wind vibration. Does some-one have any advice on this

Put your mirrors on and wet the straps. Really soak them. Tighten them up and then let them dry while attached. That seems to remove the ex

William,
I have the McKesh mirrors and had the same vibration proplem.
I put some quick ties around the strap to make the strap "round" and that solved the noise for me.

Big Al,

Not sure what you mean by this... thanks.

By installing quick ties on the strap it bunches up and isn't flat anymore. This prevents it from catching air and vibrating. Mine are installed on a full size van. The doors are tall so the strap is long and doesn't lie flat and tight to the door. Remember as a kid putting a blade of grass between your thumbs and blowing on it? Just like a reed in a wind instrument, it makes a lot of noise. Scrunch it up and you can't get that sound.

This is what I had installed on my Burb. Even when NOT towing I notice that I use the convex mirrors a lot. They really eliminate blind spots, and it's just a second's work to yank them in and out for towing. I never knew what I was missing without having convex mirrors.

I must be a bit dense, but what is a quick tie, and how do you attach it to the strap? I'm picturing this taut strap and trying to skrunch it some type of tie-down thing.
Still in fog....

Thanks!

I wonder if this is the same thing as a cable tie? I could see rolling the edge of the strap inside the other edge and applying the cable tie to make the strap a cylinder rather than flat.
