Mirror extensions for 2014 Volkswagen Touareg

[kevinmlamb]

What are the best mirror extensions for a 2014 Volkswagen Touareg? I installed a set for our maiden voyage and one flew off halfway through the first leg of our trip. I don't recall the brand, but the attached photo gives an idea. These had dual ratcheting straps that tightened a pair of rubberized pads. I was told these were the best in class, with lots of adjustability and they did seem suitable for my mirrors. I took a long time adjusting them just right and they were snug, so I was really surprised when the passenger side extension jettisoned itself and shattered as we were cruising along at about 50mph two hours into the trip. Any advice appreciated.

Best? No idea have not tried them all.

I use Milenco Grand Aero Towing Mirrors. Purshased thru Amazon.

I also use the Milenco mirrors. It takes a little practice to get them on securely. We just completed a 12,000 mile trip and still have the mirrors. I am considering some McKesh (sp?) mirrors which attach to the door with straps. Less of a chance of them coming off.

You can find these on Amazon selling under the JR Products name. They fit perfectly and stay in place - also, you can adjust how far out you want them placed which is good as closer to car = less vibration.

Been using the Milenco Aero2 mirrors on my Touareg for a year and a half now with no issues. I like that there's no straps or braces to scratch the paint on the door. They do vibrate a bit at high speed, but not so much that you can't see what's back there.
