No I don't have the tow hitch but I don't really need a tow hitch.

Looking forward to delivery 😃

The German configurator does not allow 22 in with towing on 45e, max is 21 in.

thank you, I'll give them a go, I mainly wanted to see if they reduce wind noise around the A Pillar

I ordered a set, I take it they're an easy swap?

Yes. OEM snap outwards towards the front of the car. Takes no more than 2/3minutes a side but you have to be careful not to break clips. Search some YouTube videos for tutorial. No noise or anything like that

Do you mind posting the link to the video that you referenced when removing the mirror caps? Some say take the mirror off first others say pry the cap off without taking the mirror off.

I'm just trying to see which method worked for you. Did you take the mirrors off or pry the cap off without taking the mirror off? One video said it is very hard to get the cap off without first popping off the mirror.

No. Like I mentioned it took me 5 minutes. Just popped the caps off. I don't see why anyone would remove the entire mirror assembly. Skill level is 2 out of 10

Thanks. Good to know you can pop the mirror cap off. It wasn't the whole assembly that was removed. It was just the thin mirror that can be popped off to access the clips for the mirror cap.

I used credit card /gift card to slightly loosen up around the edges of the cap to popped it off. Just do it slowly so you don't damage the clips.

With this DIY my skill level has been elevated to 1.
