Question:  What are Clearview Towing Mirrors?

Answer: Clearview Towing Mirrors are a specifically designed towing mirror designed for Australian conditions. They are also designed specifically for vehicles that are used  for towing in Australia.

Question: How do the mirrors work?

Answer:  The mirrors are full replacement mirrors, in other words, you remove your current mirror from the car and fit our mirrors into the same location. The electrics on your mirrors will work from your existing mirror switch same as your old mirrors. The top glass in the mirror will operate electrically and it is flat glass. The bottom mirror is a manually operated mirror and is a convex glass, it allows you to see into the lane beside you, removing most of your blind spots.

When you hook up your caravan you simply pull outwards on the mirror head and it will slide out 100mil further, allowing you to see down the side of your van. You are now ready to tow your van. When you arrive at your holiday destination you simply unhook your van and then push your mirror back into the closed position.

Question: What happens when you are driving along up north and a road train goes past you dragging all that wind with it, will the mirrors come off or fold back?

Answer:No the mirrors will NOT fall off and we have had NO reports of anyone having the mirror blow back on them in the event of a road train passing them.

Question: The mirrors look wider than my originals, how far past the old mirrors do they protrude?

Answer:  Yes our mirrors do sit out wider than your current mirrors, 4.1/4 inches further. They are designed that way so that we can get enough slide on the mirror to be able to reach out past the side of your caravan.

Question:  Are your mirrors legal being out that far.

Answer:  Yes they are legal.

Question:  Can the mirrors fold back if I happen to hit something in a carpark or when traveling?

Answer: Yes the mirrors will fold back almost against your car door if they get hit, and they will also fold forward if someone brushes past them in a car park as well.

Question: What if I damage a mirror and I need spare parts, do you carry spare parts for them?

Answer: Yes we carry a full compliment of spare parts, these are listed on our website.
 

Question: What cars do the mirrors fit?

Answer: Toyota Landcrusier 100-105 series and Nissan Patrols GU models.

Question:  How do they fit onto my car?

Answer: You remove the current mirror on your car completely, and bolt our mirror into the same place.
 

Question: What if I have no prior experience mechanically and don’t feel confident enough to start pulling my car apart?

Answer: We supply you with a DVD that has detailed fitting instructions on it. We show you exactly every step of the process so you will have no problems at all in the fitting of your new mirrors.

Question: Will your mirrors fit other cars other than the 100 series Landcrusier or GU Patrol?
 

Answer: Our mirrors are designed to be vehicle specific, so in other words NO, they won’t fit other model cars. However on that subject, we are currently working on the Toyota 200 series Landcrusier mirror and The Toyota Prado 120 model.

 
Question: When will the 200 series be ready for sale?

Answer: The 200 series has already been sampled and we are working on the finer details at present. It’s slow process, and when we are happy with the final product, we are sure you will be as well.

Question: Can I remove the mirrors and refit my old mirror if I’m not going away on a trip for while or if I sell the car?

Answer: Yes you can remove the mirror and refit your old mirror again without any problems at all.

Question:  What if I still don’t feel confident after watching your DVD?

Answer: Any mechanical workshop or auto electrician can fit the mirrors for you for a small charge.

Question: Approximately how long will it take me to fit the mirrors.

Answer: It should only take approximately 20 minutes a door for a Landcrusier and about 15 minutes for a Patrol.

Question:  My car is a poverty pack Landcrusier, do you have a towing mirror to suit my car?

Answer: Yes we have a mirror that comes with a manual actuator and is manually operated to adjust the mirror position, we also have the same for the GU patrol utes that have no electrics too.

Question:  What happens if I have electric mirrors on my car.

Answer: Our mirrors are designed to fit your car and our electrical connectors are designed to fit directly back into existing wiring loom, no wires to cut, just unplug your current wiring connector and plug ours back in. The operation of your mirror will work as normal.

Question:  What colours do the mirrors come in?

Answer: The mirrors come in a chrome finish or a textured black finish.

Question: Is the chrome mirror more expensive than the black finish?

Answer: The price is the same for chrome or black.

Question: What is the price of a set of Clearview Towing Mirrors

Answer: The mirrors cost between $660.00 inclusive of GST and $800.00 inclusive of GST  depending on which model of vehicle.


Question:  Don’t you think your mirrors are expensive?

Answer: I don’t think they are expensive at all when you consider the costs of a replacement on a Toyota or a Nissan. We have priced mirrors at different outlets being anywhere from $350.00 to $500.00 a mirror for a genuine replacement part. I think $660.00 is a fair and reasonable ask, considering the added bonus of having a slide mirror and also the convex mirror in one.
