VW Tiguan: Towing mirrors

I don't know if they are the best mirrors but we use the milenco aero ones, I think they're called.  No problems at all.

We enjoy towing with our tiguan and hope you do too - very competent without being too large for what we need.

Great, many thanks for your reply.  I will pass this on to hubby (who does the towing etc).  We have usually used Milenco products and they seem to be up to the job so we will try those as you suggest.  Glad you enjoy towing with your Tiguan; we are really looking forward to getting our c'van out of storage to tow with our new vehicle.

To ensure a secure fit you will also need the 'f' pads available from Milenco.  I have these on my Tig and have no problems.  Another fan of Tigs as a towing vehicle.

I got fed up to the back teeth with fighting to fit my Milenco mirrors to our Qashqai.  Furthermore I found them difficult to adjust with a lot of his and her discussion as my long suffering wife tried to follow my instructions for adjusting the nearside mirror.  Some weeks back I decided enough was enough and bought a pair of "Suck It and See" mirrors.  We used them for the first time last week for a 50 mile tow to our dealer for repairs to the van.  We were delighted with them.  Easy to fit, simple to adjust and adequate visibility.  No more Milencos for us.

Aero Milenco`s 

I looked on u tube at these stick on mirrors and they certainly look easy to fit. A point was made that you adjust their setting via your car mirrors controls. Surly, you can adjust Milenko clip on mirrors using the car mirrors control - or am I wrong or missing the point. I look forward to the answer(s).

Milenco mirrors clip to the mirror housing which on most cars is fixed & the glass moves within it. I've  never fancied the idea of suck-it-and-see partly because I like to have the option of using the car's  mirrors too.

MollysMummy, I must admit that I had not realised that only the glass moves! Will check my car tomorrow and see what my situation is.

I too have the old style VW Tiguan and the Milenco Aero mirrors that clip on the car mirror frame, we've been on 1,000 mile trip around Spain last year they were very secure.

We have the old style tiguan with the standard aero pads.  They seem to fit ok but are the f pads better or are they just needed on the new style tig?
