Hi, Im looking to get a set of extendable mirrors, i know Clearview are considered the best ones but has anyone brought the ones from The Partsman in SA, and if so what are they like.
There doesn't seem to be a lot of choice in mirrors for the Pajero, I looked around when we bought our NX Paj and found the range for any of the major accessories fairly limited i comparison to Toyo, Ford, etc.
Ive had the cheapies, the goodies and now back to the cheapies. I cant remember where I got them them from but they are similar to the strap on ones at RTM for under 40 bucks. They have taken me all over Australia including Cape York for 3 caravans and 2 cars. I found the Milencos problematic because one of them would never adhere properly when attached. The straps on the cheapies fix that problem.
Also on an NX Pajero, I have the Clearview power folds and absolutely love them.
That being said, I use the power fold function in car parks and on 4wd tracks (not towing) as I do actually use my 4WD as a 4WD.
In carparks, they do definitely stick out too far, even at the minimum setting! People moving through between vehicles invariably knock them and risk damage to the mirror locks.
Just go & buy a cheap pair of strap ons from Autobarn, BCF or Supacheap Auto. I bought some 30 years ago for $25 & they still work fine. Two camper trailers, a 17ft half cabin boat & our caravan, probably a total of more than 200,000kms covered, they still work fine.
Buy yourself a few slabs of beer or a few dozen bottles of wine with the money saved.
