I have just bought a new VW Tiguan SEL 2.0 litre and would like to know which towing mirrors will be suitable. The wing mirrors fold when the car is locked but they fold in towards the car and up against the glass. My current Milenco units just get pushed off as the mirror rotates. Can anyone with the latest Tiguan suggest a suitable mirror?

    Can you not disable the wing mirrors from folding in while you have extension/ towing mirrors on?  Just a thought!

    Not as far as I can find so far.  Also I would like  to fold  them away on a car ferry for example.

    You can (temporarily) disable the fold function. On your infortaintment screen select Car and then Settings. Scroll down to find Mirrors and Wipers. Uncheck Fold in when locking.  Then reverse when not towing. 

    As an aside there are lots of things to tweak in there if you feel so inclined especially the setting that warns you when you go over the speed limit (I find that very useful !!!)

    It is possible that the Kodiaq uses the same mirrors. Look on the parts and accessories discussions where PaulRT has an answer for the Kodiaq mirrors

    Probably because it's the least intuitive forum on the web

    I will move this post to the Parts and Accessories section now.  Should have done it when I first responded, but just it just didn't register it was in the wrong section.

    Apologies.
