Towing mirrors
What mirrors do you guys use? I have milenco aero & I think they’re crap , the vibration is awful, yes every screw is as tight as it can be.

You may need different shape rubber pads to better suit the mirror profile. Milenco do different pads to suit.

They have rubber on the base but it doesn’t matter hoe tight I turn the thumb screws they still vibrate.

Not sure about the XC90 but on our Mk1 XC60 the Aero's vibrated badly - on our current MkII they are solid - I think its because the Mk1 had a sort of body coloured shell and then a separate mirror surround so the clamp either had to be on the very edge (surround only) or covering both parts, whereas the MkII is a solid mirror i.e. the clamps can be kept on the whole mirror.

I have a set of Milenco Grande mirrors, with extended arms. These are used on my Volvo and Isuzu without any noticeable vibration. What I would suggest is, space out the clamps as far a part as possible. So many people have them so close together, this will always be unstable. Like standing with your legs apart, or close together! Which is more stable?!

in short yes, always used them we run them on our V90 with no issue, that said i have made 4 little rubber pieces that sit between the mirror casing and the tightening block, just in case i over tighten and cause damage to the piano black finish
