Put me out of my misery; I have just taken delivery of a pair from C&C...have I bought the crap ones that you refer to, by any chance?

i wouldent usually recomend gsf but ive just fitted a pair as a temp measure due to the glass poping out when i slammed the door.

cheap as chips look ok and tightend up fine.(probably wont last 40 years tho)

im sure you know this but the nut on the threaded part that goes in to the door moves up and down the threded part so you can tighten it up in the right place.sorry to state the obvious but just have a picture of someone swinging the mirror round to wher they want it without getting a spanner on it :shock:

Ok - been looking around :msn4: and ordered one of these http://www.megabug.co.uk//type-2-door-mirror-stainless-steel-right-724-p.asp" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
to see what there like! Price seems ok and stainless body so will report back when it arrives :mrgreen:

 

[Mucka]

How are the new mirrors ?

 

[simo]

Well - i ordered 1 to see how it is :msn4: its better than the previous offerings i had, fitted it and it has stayed there whilst traveling to Wales then on to Cornwall then home so happy with that. To be honest tho the thread could still be a bit longer as they only tighten up a couple of turns, but will keep looking for something better! But at least i can use them at the mo ( ones a ratty og faded one :mrgreen: )

 

[strongy]

just wanted to bring this thead back up.the gsf ones that were a temp measure after removal and refit dont tighten now. :lol:

so just sat down trying to order a pair of good mirrors.c&c sell some german quality ones.has anyone fitted them?

i need some really tight ones as my german quality door seals :roll: mean i need a 3/4 mile run up and slam to get the doors to shut right

 

[simo]

Keep us posted if you find some good ones, my temp ones are still on :msn4:

 

[Skyguy]

Has anyone tried the vwh one's as I was thinking of buying them?

 

[Whistler]

I picked up the German Quality ones from C&C at Stanford Hall. I haven't fitted them yet, I could to a trial fit if you want me too?

 

[Molbyj]

Just out of interest, what do OG mirrors look like? Where is the part number normally stamped?
Sorry to gate crash.

Put a new mirror to door seal as well.
