Tow mirrors... Which to get?

[1999gmc]

Thanks for all the feedback!

I ended up ordering a pair of the 1A mirrors http://www.1aauto.com/mirror-pair/i/1amrp00601?f=546516&y=1998

I'm not a big fan of the later model mirrors, and def not the Dodge style. I loved my 2012 F150 tow mirrors. I've been using CIPA slide on mirrors for a couple of years now and they're barely adequate.

.

I had the dodge mirrors on mine years ago and hated them. I hated the way they look flipped up, so when we would go camping I would flip them back down, and you have to readjust them. It was just a PIA. A woodpecker cracked my passenger dodge mirror and that was when I found the later model GM tow mirrors made for our trucks. I love them other than the top glass vibrates a little.

It appears I have the same issue - my passenger side has no give at all. Not sure where or how I'm going to get at it.

I used some kite string to make a slip knot, and then the Mrs. was able to get her hand in there and get it over the connector and pull it tight. I then pulled up on the string while inserting the new plug. Took a while, but it eventually worked. I had taken the door panel off to see if I could easily get at it from underneath and push up, but there's a whole sub-panel assembly there that nixed that idea.

Here's a not so great picture:

Finally finished getting them on! Can't wait to see how well they work with the RV in tow

Thank you for your order. Would it be okay for us to use this picture on FB and Instagram ? Thanks Tony

Aside from the tight quarters with little space, these mirrors literally plug right in? and mount just aso properly as stock? I think I need these. will be towing 18 ft car hauler...
