    Suggestions for mirror extension for D4?

    Does anyone have any suggestions for mirror extensions for my D4. I don't wont anything that could mark the paint, have seen one that uses a suction cap onto the mirror.
    Anyone used this style before?

    I think you will find the extended mirrors on Cruisers that look factory are aftermarket ones that bolt on using the original mounting points.

    Can't remember the brand name of them right now but I do know they cost a fortune.

    Still it would be nice if there was a similar option for LR owners.

    cheers,

    Mine are held on the existing mirrors with 2 rubber straps. They can shake a little but do the job.

    Its quite common for vehicles to not have appropriate / legal mirrors, but sometimes the trailer or van is narrow enough not to need wider mirrors. If when travelling in a straight line you can't see all the way along the sides of your van then the mirrors definitely aren't far enough out.

    I recently brought a pair of those mirrors. They are not to bad, there are some limitations with them they do cover a fair bit of the original mirror. I put mine in the top corner of each mirror.

    It makes adjusting the mirrors a breeze and for $19 each they are cheap. Because they are smaller I also found trucks didn't try to blow my drivers mirror back.
