Mirror protectors

Looking on this site, and others, most people seem to prefer Mirror Guard protectors to Milenco protectors despite being about double the price. However I've come across a mirror protector made by Seaflo and was wondering if anyone had tried them? They look very similar, can be bought with reflective strips on and are cheaper than the other two.

Thanks Ray for the additional information, I might have a good look at them at one of the shows. I also need to know whether they fit an IVECO which I think has Fiat wing mirrors.

Like the look of the Mirror Guard ones found an informative video on youtube produced by "Happy Travellers" discussing these and showing how to fit with hints and tips. Thinking of getting some but before I do wondered if radio reception would be affected when fitted as I understand my aerial is in one of the wing mirrors.

Anyone any idea?

Good point that, although I have no idea but would also be interested in the answer as I'm considering purchasing to.....

On handover of our MH at end of Feb, we were told if you're going to lose a mirror make sure it's the o/s as the n/s is more expensive......

Now I remember why!

Now found the Drivers side wing mirror has a protrusion at bottom. Think its an outside temperature sensor. Does the mirror guard fit over this ?

Both the temp sensor and aerial work fine with the Mirror guards fitted.

My temperature sensor failed under warranty and the wing mirror had to be changed. Normally very costly, especially being Peugeot who are not known for cheap spares.

If you have to remove the Guards you will need new double sided tape because they can get loose. Homebase is fine and what was recommended.
