I have used Millenco mirrors for the past 6 or 7 years and have found them very good. There are 3 types; ones that fit with a strap, ones that clamp onto the mirror housing and sucker type.
The sucker ones have the advantage that they can be adjusted with the remote adjuster, but stop you using the car's mirror as the sucker is about
2 1/2 inches in diameter. The strap over type are sometimes awkward to fit depending on the shape of the mirror housing; they did not fit my XC70, so I went for the clamp on type. They fit in a second and don't vibrate at speed.
Most decent caravan shops sell them for about £20 each, or you can get them mail order from places like Towsure.

i have tried a few on my v70 and found the milenco aero mirrors best for stability, the suck and see vibrated a lot and covered the centre of the driving mirrors. take the car to a caravan shop and see which best fits.

I have tried all sorts of towing mirrors, with varying degree's of success.
Most were fixed to the car mirrors by straps.
Lost a few of them when they became loose.
I now have a set of towing mirrors that are oblong in shape and clip onto my wing mirrors. They are by the best I have ever had.
I bought them from Lidl in one of their sales,very cheap, don't know if they still sell them, but would most certainly recommend them.
