I didn't even know you could call a car wash??

It's a Volkswagen dealership with a car wash. They have a telephone.

I drive my Defender to the car wash about every 2 month. No problems, all newer car washs are wide and high enough to fit SUVs, so of course Defenders and Grenadiers probably.

So looking at standard mirrors and reading how many people will be towing, what are the options?

At present, I'm drawn to the Clearview towing mirrors ~ the compact version even seems to resemble early Grenadier ones.

You wind the windows down, either manually as standard or electrically if you have chosen that option. Then you reach out and pull the mirrors in. 😄:ROFLMAO:
And pull in the passenger side using your three metre arm only. 😁

and the fold back is always manual I assume
Depending on the width of the containers (if there are containers), they might fold in automatically if you drive in.

In that case, however, you have to leave the car through the rear door.

Power mirrors are only standard on the Belstaff editions

Yes I posted a warning about that months ago.
Why would anyone want manually adjustable mirrors in this day and age.
At least you have power windows so you can then reach over adjust the mirror with your orangutan arms, lean back in the driving position, realise it is wrong,...............

I would love a set of these, there are types with half blind spot and normal. No need for any adjustment.
