Hyundai Santa Fe towing mirrors

[Oldsalt49]

Hi Guys,

I hope someone that has the latest version of Santa Fe can tell me what towing mirrors you use. Are you happy with them, ease of fitting/removal, vibration etc.

I get my new Santa in 3 weeks and will be towing not long after that. My local towing accessories store do not hold any mirrors for test fit/demo purposes.

Thnks Dean,

I had seen a test report in the Caravan Magazine a while back, the Rock Steady was one that looked a possible one. I actually wonder if the Tucson and Santa Fe are fitted with the same mirrors at the factory?

not sure but the mirros have 2 fixings thumb screws and rubber straps use both to geather the will fit most cars i wuold say the will be ok

Hi we use milenco aero mirrors on ours. Great stuff. The cheap ones with the straps around the mirror were useless and moved every time we closed the door ot went over a bump.

Thank Jo-Anne & Mel,

I think I prefer the Milenco brand, they conform to the EU regs for glass safety. I like the look and fitting of the Rock Steady, but they don't conform, although I would check them out.

rock steady changed about 2 years ago to comply with e stamp caravan mag /p,r caravan don a test on these but had old typ mirros and i think the made this clear later

Cheers for that Dean. I read the test and missed the correction, so I guess they under scored the Rock Steady mirrors. Can you tell me if the straps are made of rubber and if there is much adjustment on them, please.

 

[forestgump]

yes david 2 straps per mirror ,thay have hook on end to clamp on tthey have steps all along to pull through plenty off strap for any mirror

 

[forestgump]

sorry yes straps are rubber

Dean,

Looks like I will be getting the Rock Steady mirrors then.

Thanks to you and everyone else for your help and suggestions.

Looking forward to my new Santa Fe and Swift Challenger in about 3 weeks time.
