Melbourne Caravan show & Prado mirror

Last week we took a trip down to Melbourne to check out the show. We made some time to call in on some of our valued dealers, which also gave us an opportunity to see some of the Victorian countryside.


Toyota Prado - Feedback from our dealers on fitting the Ora mirrors clamp to the Prado


The latest model Prado has a tappered and very smooth mirror. Special care is need to ensure a snug fit. A few suggestions (try one, not all, to see which works better);



  1. Position the clamp well to the inside of centre of the Prado mirror.


  2. If you clip it onto the bottom of the mirror first, the straps will wrap around the outside of the mirror alot better. Then it's a matter of hooking the top of the clamp and tightening the lobe knob.


  3. I've tried attaching a 3mm rubber pad (we can supply but you can cut out your own from rubber material available from Clarke rubber) cut to the shape of the triangle mount. This pad fits between the car's mirror and the Ora triangle mount. Carefull to remove and clean regulary as I'd hate to see it mark the mirror.
