Product Information

Full details

The Hilka Towing Mirrors are an essential safety accessory for drivers towing caravans, trailers, or horseboxes who need to expand their field of vision beyond standard factory mirrors. By providing an extended view, these mirrors significantly reduce blind spots and improve maneuverability when navigating turns or changing lanes. While they are highly effective for towing applications, users should note that they are universal-fit accessories and may require periodic tightening to ensure they remain secure during long-distance motorway driving.

FAQs

Are these mirrors legal for road use?

Yes, they are designed to provide the necessary visibility required by road safety standards when towing.

Do these fit all vehicle types?

They feature a universal design that fits the majority of standard car and SUV side mirrors, though extreme mirror shapes may vary in compatibility.

Can I use the car's electric mirror adjustment with these attached?

Yes, but be aware that the added weight and size may restrict the full range of movement of your factory mirrors.

Do I need any tools to install these?

No tools are required. The mirrors are designed for manual installation using the included strap system.

Should I leave them on permanently?

It is recommended to remove them when you are not towing to maintain the integrity of the straps and reduce wind drag.

Troubleshooting

Mirror vibrates during driving

Check the tension of the straps and ensure the mounting brackets are firmly seated against the factory mirror housing.

Mirror keeps shifting position

Ensure that the mirror arm is fully locked into position and that the straps are not loose or twisted.

Difficulty seeing clearly in rain

Apply a hydrophobic glass treatment to the mirror surface to prevent water bead formation.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly enhances rear visibility while towing
  • Comprehensive twin pack covers both vehicle sides
  • Universal fit suitable for most car mirrors
  • Easy to install without specialized tools
  • Improves overall road safety and confidence

Cons

  • May vibrate slightly at high motorway speeds
  • Universal straps can occasionally obstruct factory mirror controls
  • Requires manual adjustment for optimal viewing angles

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install the mirrors, ensure the surface of your factory mirrors is clean to prevent scratching. Hook the straps securely over the housing of the existing mirror, ensuring the tension is firm enough to prevent movement but not so tight that it cracks the plastic housing. Periodically inspect the attachment points during rest stops, especially during long journeys. To clean, use a soft microfiber cloth and a mild glass cleaner to avoid scratching the surface. Always remove the mirrors when not towing to preserve the tension of the straps and prevent theft.
