Freelander towing mirrors

Can anyone guide me towards a reliable towing mirror for a 2004
Freelander.

The normal strap on mirrors are too small as the straps will not go
round

The door mounting mirrors are again to small (to far between the window
and door bottom)

Bonnet mooting mirrors are no good as the bonnet does not have the
normal lip

The only ones I have tried are the ones that are on an arm which fits
onto a strap-on mount - but I have lost two of these by them falling off
as the rear of the mirror is badly shaped and tends to allow the straps
to slip off!

Over to you!

Hi
I use ones designed to fit awkward sloping mirrors i.e. the ones I use
are from towsure in sheffield and are stated as being suitable for a
vauxhall vectra.
Try the Towsure website at http://www.towsure.co.uk . Mirrors have two mini
'G' clamps at the top to go on the outer mirror casing and a strap to go in
between. Served me well on a 300 mile trip in the summer. I have lost the
previous 'strap only' type mirrors.

Sorry missed a zero. That should read 3000 mile trip!
