I have a set Clearview towing mirrors fitted to my 100series Landcruiser. They work fine when not extended. However, when fully extended I have a problem with the drivers side mirror. When we pass a road train, coming from the opposite direction the mirror
swings back against the car. This does not happen every time but certainly 4 out of 10 times. This is quite annoying, considering the price of these mirrors. I would be interested to hear if any other Clearview mirror owners have experienced a similar problem. Cheers

Another big fan of the Clearview's.
I experienced your problem with the Pajero original mirrors when extended with the strap on types - constant issue, then moved on to wheel arch mirrors but had problems with them constantly needing adjustment. From there to extenders (scissor lift style) mounted on the bull bar, and they did the job but our roads are not real flash & caused vibrations so could tell when something was coming up the rear but not clearly.
Switched to the Clearview four years ago and they have been perfect. Switched them last year to the newer Paj and still
well worth the investment.
I would be seeking manufacturers support as suggested by others.
Hope you get it sorted.
Cheers - Phil
