Re: [A/S] Rear view mirrors



Once while cruising the Internet I found a set of replacement outside rear 
view mirrors for my 2002 GMC. Shortly after I finally took delivery one of 
our suppliers introduced them in their catalog. The mirrors are direct 
replacement for the original and can be purchased to duplicate the installed 
mirror. Installation is simple, pop off a cover, undo three bolts, 
disconnect a small wire harness and reverse the process with the new one. 
Takes about 15-20 minutes. Even if the truck has GM's version of towing 
mirrors, the sad little things, these can be used to replace them. Now the 
good part. These things are HUGE. The glass measures 10" wide and 10" tall. 
For tow mode they pull out 4.25" on each side. They are big enough to work 
with a widebody. After driving with these things on any thing else looks 
tiny by comparison. And with the electric's it makes backing even easier 
because you can move them around to keep an eye on things. This is a new 
thing for me cause my old truck had manual mirrors.
