Why were all you folks keeping this secret?
Heidi loves the visibility. I love folding them in so I can get around better in the garage. And this winter with two vans it will be even more helpful. I hope to get another set.
But, I’m not giving myself permission for extras until the 84 is running more smoothly.

They give a much more vertical view so you can see down the side of the sliding door and avoid the picnic table you would have run into with the stock mirrors. Very solid too. And the mirror quality itself is superior- the stock mirrors appear almost hazy or out of focus by comparison. I think the Land Rover mirrors are slightly convex so they sharpen the image a bit, making it just a little wider angle.
