The Aero Platinum Mirror is an innovative new design that has been specifically developed to fit securely into the extremely tapered mirror mounts now found on more and more manufacturers' vehicles to improve fuel efficiency by reducing drag.
One of the key developments of the Aero Platinum Mirror is the inclusion of new flexible, rubber-coated, spring-loaded stainless steel gripper plates. These are over 50% larger than the standard Aero 4 mirror plates. This design allows the gripper to conform to the shape of the vehicle's mirror frame. This significantly increases the contact area, resulting in improved grip and stability of the towing mirror. The Platinum clamp has also been enlarged and can now accommodate mirror mounts up to 25 mm thick. The new larger diameter arm provides even more stability for the mirror and has sufficient reach for caravans up to 2.55m wide.
Platinum mirrors are manufactured from the highest quality materials to ensure robust durability. Stainless steel and brass are used in key areas to ensure reliability and prevent corrosion from road salt. The mirror glass is the highest quality chrome glass available to ensure a very long life.
