I might need some more, Mrs has smashed 2 in 3 weeks........... You can imagine!!

Oh & second lloydy's post, fit the proper ones!!

Might have to bite the bullet, but the real ones are so expensive. Theyre just wing mirrors, not magic mirrors!

Anyhoo, thanks for all the help and advice, especially the diagrams from Simon

How can you break Syncro Mirrors in the kitchen?

Mine are LT (I think), with the proper bottom mounts (no need to elongate the holes). I pushed the pin out and cut the bottom end of the arm down so the lower bend in the bar is pretty close to the sleeve that it slides into. The angle is OK now (the bar's pretty vertical) and I reckon they look fine. The only problem with mine is that one of them folds in at about 75mph, or with a gust of wind! I've tightened the nut to put more pressure but I think the bit with the grooves in has worn so badly that it doesn't stay properly located anymore

In my view the LT ones and the T3 ones work equally well, but as the LT ones are pretty hard to get hold of now I'd probably just buy the proper ones from BW if I was getting some now!

75 MPH!!!

Ahhhh now you've done it. She's as mad as hell about your comment!


10 years ago, you would of said bedroom!

75 MPH!!!

Yeah well it is possible, but I must admit that gusts are a much more common cause

I truly doubt that 75 mph is possible in my van. Even downhill, on ice with a truck pushing it.
However, we have experienced a lot of wind.
