- In this short video we look at the Milenco mirror protetcor covers
Personally , i wouldnt be without them , not only do they protect against serious damage but also against those situations when down country lanes when those horrible bushes are sticking out .. seriously scratching your mirrors
Heres a link to the ones seen in the video

Milenco covers didn’t protect the nearside mirror on our Transit when I clobbered a wall on a narrow lane in the Lake District. Required an expensive OEM replacement mirror. I fitted Mirror Guard covers on our next van (Ducato based), and the offside one withstood a very hard impact from a bus in Scotland with only scratches. They're lined with shock absorbing foam, and in my view far superior to the Milenco ones. Admittedly they’re much more expensive than Milenco, but cheaper than having to replace the entire mirror
Only just discovered this channel, informative and easy to watch, thank you!
thanks craig much appreciated & welcome on board , thanks for watching the video
all the best

Well worth it. Best version I've found and makes the mirrors more visible to oncoming traffic.
Yes that’s what I thought Ive always used them & thankfully not had to test them ! Thanks for watching the video
Happy camping
Mike
We think they are a brilliant idea. Fitted well, and Son in Law sprayed ours silver to match the silver accent around the front grill of our Bessacarr, so they look smart too. 👍🏻
Even if they just keep the scratches off from branches down narrow country lanes , ideal ! Thanks for watching the video 👍
Looks like something I would put on my rig if we had the need. Well done
Thank you sir , I think they are definitely worth having , thanks for watching and commenting
Hole is not a drain hole, its an outside Temp sensor on the mirror,,
Definitely worth it.. we’ve had scrapes on ours and when getting on the open train in Switzerland they saved a massive expense! We need to purchase new ones now, but may get the mirror guard as others have mentioned 🚐👍🏼😃 Helpful review.. looking great 👍🏼 Michelle and Andy
Thanks guys yes people mentioned mirror guard apparently they are heavy duty and more robust , thanks for watching and commenting , much appreciated 👍
The speckled effect looks good to me, no need to replace LOL
I never thought of that I should have just left it 😂🤣👍
Good one Mike, well worth the money. Mine have saved lots of cash over the years 👍🚐
Thanks Eric , yes they are most definitely worth having , thanks for watching
Stay safe 👍
Very informative, Thanks for sharing,

thank you 👍
I would have sprayed the first set black to match the originals.
My research said milenco were quite flimsy and thin but priced accordingly, we’ve gone for mirror guard instead, expensive yes but seem way better.
The newer version seemed pretty sturdy but yes mirror guard are more heavy duty , thanks for watching the video 👍
Mike
Mirror guard every time for me I’ve had both in my hand and they are so superior to the milenco.
Mirror guard for us too they are more expensive but you get what you pay for.
Protectors £45 , new mirror £65
Just had my mirror damaged by a truck going in the opposite direction on a narrow road. I had Milenco protectors but although the mirror remained functional the mirror casing was cracked. I ordered a new unit for £57 and although not a genuine Fiat part it’s a perfect match to the untrained eye, still electric with heated function like the original. This replacement was cheaper than the Milenco covers, and it arrived next day. The Milenco covers are not worth the investment in my opinion.
the other mirror protector company (mirror guard) are even more expensive but apparently a lot better , but great if you have found a cheaper alternative, prices for everything are sky rocketing its becoming a joke , More CL’s / CS’s for us this summer i’m afraid !
The holes underneath are for the heat sensors for heated mirrors
thanks for the info , never even occurred to me but makes total sense now
cheers
Unlucky with the oil, well done getting it off. Seen quite a few Motorhome with those protectors on, don't come to Scotland with out them. Lol 😂 Graeme
Thing is Graeme thats one reason why I love Scotland because of the roads , if they are narrow , you have the passing places , the A roads are superb for motorhomers and caravanners 👍
@@TheFrenchiesMotorhomechannel Yeah we are used to the narrow roads. 👍 Graeme
As well as protecting the mirror they make them more visible (well the white ones anyway).
yes thats true i should have mentioned that , i’d never be without them , thanks for watching the video and commenting
mike 👍
@@TheFrenchiesMotorhomechannel I've just ordered some white ones for my mh.
well worth the money i think , 15 years of motorhoming & we’ve never had a van without them , peace of mind
We had an encounter in Scotland and there is no way that these would of prevented the damage to the side of our motorhome. We messaged the Company and they said that their product would not of saved the damage. We are not saying that they will not protect the scrapes and everyday knocks on journeys but so far our experience has saved our money. Thanks Mike for sharing this video
I’d say they are sufficient enough for saving mirrors from getting scratched up or light damage possibly , but definitely not from a proper impact or down the side of a van , we could honestly do with wider roads and bigger parking areas , we must live in the worst country for Motorhome friendliness 😬 thanks for watching 👍
Definitely worth the money mine got hit in Scotland and came off better than the guy who hit me. Got a brand new set of mirror guard ones in my loft I could have sold you.😀
Yeah that’s the thing , you just never know when it can happen , it’s those narrow lanes that get me 😬😀
@@TheFrenchiesMotorhomechannel £400 for a new mirror from dealers so if it saves having to buy it’s definitely money well spent.
Wow never knew it would be that much but I can honestly say I’m not at all surprised
@@TheFrenchiesMotorhomechannel apparently the drivers side has the radio aerial incorporated and that the one that tends to get hit.
Yeah drivers side always gets smacked and passengers side always gets the branches ! 😂
Can you get black ones
yes you can
Yes they are worth it. You will hit others without fail, we all have and do
Yep including me especially getting scrapes from branches down narrows lanes ! Thanks for watching the video much appreciated 👍
weather they are worth it or not,they look nice
They do yes , a nice addition regardless , thanks for watching and commenting
Mike
Dont buy Mirrorguard, they are a nightmare to deal with
They make your motorhome look finished. Not nearly as smart with the black, plain mirror. 👍👍
Thanks guys yeah they definitely finish it off , just hope they never have to get tested 😂👍
