Ally strips and a bit of foam tape to stop them sliding. I'll get some pictures if you like

Hi
Ebay for the mirror, but don't buy the brkts
they failed the iva on ours & are bloody expensive to boot
Made our own which passed fine. 14" is plenty big enough.

Interior trim

Mirror Brkts

good luck

I went with the 14" mirror which is plenty big enough imo. I also didn't bother with the brackets and made mine own, very similar to Ben_Copeland.
