I found a mirror company called K Source. Anyone have their products here? I see Rockauto has them. Amazon has one of the mirrors, I'd get, but not the other.... no reviews. I'd just be looking at the OEM style.

They claim they make OEM mirrors....and have since 1950.

Looks like Advance has just the glass locally, although, I haven't gone to look at it. The reviews aren't good.

I'm looking at OEM glass now.... quite expensive.

When I did the resto of my ‘98 I got cheap mirrors from AM auto or somewhere like that. The glass shakes at highway speed and it’s annoying. I intend to change them out some day. If I did it over I would go oem.

I'm currently looking at a company called Burco.... they're in Grand Rapids, and supposedly their stuff is US made. I just need to go out an measure my mirror as it seems there are two sizes that look about the same.

I just drove my truck on a 1700 mile round trip, I would like to find some mirrors that don't shake at interstate speeds. The cheap ones I put on are actually not bad, but they do shake more than I like. Given, my dad put some cheaper ones on his and they shake bad enough that they are really not usable. The ones below weren't that bad, just wish I could score some better ones.

Apparently it would be possible to convert our mirrors to heated.... which would be really awesome.

I want to say it was a factory option on the Escalades and Denalis but don't quote me on that...

I think I've been told that before.... I did look up the Tahoe on Rockauto, but I didn't see anything specific mirror-wise for the Denali. (I only now recall that it's a GMC Yukon, not a Chevy Tahoe) I didn't think about the Escalade. I'm guessing I'd have to go OEM to get that. The wiring wouldn't be there in my truck, so I'd have to figure that out.... even with these aftermarket grids. It's cold out, and I'm working 6 days a week out of town, so I don't have the time for it, now. I've got parts and pieces sitting here next to me that I need to install on my two vehicles as it is.

I've had heated mirrors in one vehicle before... my 86.5 Toyota Supra. They never fogged up or stayed iced over. I didn't know why for the longest time :D
