Didn't even know there was a problem with them so thanks for the info. Love the Grand Aero mirrors, easily the best out there. Ours - 2008 Stornoway Grey HSE Auto

With the original flat pads I found there was a tendency to over tighten and it would push the pads to the edge eventually the mirror would come loose, the V Pad clamps the edge tighter, especially in the wet. |

I've had two trips, first one my GA used the standard pads, thought they vibrated a bit more than my standard aeros, but when I went for the second time I upgraded to the v pads and I think they performed better, no where near as much vibration, clamped on easier and felt more secure |

Thanks - I can understand the V working better but why are they sold as 'for FL2' and 'with a lip' - got my thick head on today!! |

It's the visor on the top of the mirror housing, makes it a not so snug fit, I think some Korean has a similar difficulty with the mirror housing |
