Any Jeep Cherokee Owners?
Permalink  

Hi, I've recently bought a used Jayco pop top and am towing it with a Jeep Cherokee 2010 KK Sport. My question is this, does anybody know of any decent towing mirrors for the Jeep? I've tried over the counter strap to your own mirror and they are junk. I've tried ClearView Mirrors but they don't manufacture mirrors for my model Jeep. I've even tried a Jeep Dealer but they say accessories are discontinued after a short time, so no OEM towing mirrors available. I would love some advice or suggestions please?

Welcome to GN's Swanee, Unfortunately I don't know any thing about Jeeps or mirrors to fit - I have been using Super Cheap clip on for over 10 years - fantastic product IMHO

Have a Google for mirrors called Aussie Truck Mirrors.

They strap onto door and I found them good before I bought my Clearview knockoffs.

 Thanks Possum, I've tried similar while just taking the Pop Top home after buying it, the drivers side one fell off. My mirrors are tapered, and the strap holding them on to work itself toward the narrow end, thus providing a way of escape. I would like something more substantial unless I am doing something wrong.

Maybe try some small bike tube pieces between the plastic bits, seems to slow down the wriggle and creep factor

Hi Swanee,
Aussie Truck Mirrors are good but only if your window rubbers are suitable. They weren't for my GQ Patrol but ok for the GU. Again if you use them beware that they can scratch your windows (using HD heatshrink on the tangs, helps).

Some of us use Milenco mirrors - not certain if they fit your car.

Yes, I think they look like the best option available.

Yes I did, and aside from strap on mirrors its like they don't recognize the Jeep Cherokee and everything is Jeep Grand Cherokee, which are quite different.
