Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Bought these for my 2007 GMC Sierra Classic. You install them by sliding them on to your factory mirror and then pulling the upper lip of the towing mirror over the top of the factory mirror. This makes for a very tight fit and seems to put a fair amount of stress on the plastic. Also, the adjustment bar that's included with the mirrors (that fits inside to keep them tight) is only covered with a thin layer of felt paper. When I removed the mirrors, I had some marks in the plastic of my factory mirrors. I would not recommend using these on any mirror that's painted or has the chrome cover, as it would most likely scratch very easily. In the owner's manual, it recommends waxing your factory mirrors but this probably won't be enough to protect them.
Using the mirrors, they worked great. The don't vibrate or whistle in the wind. They integrate with with lines of the truck well and look like a factory option. The glass tilts in all directions and once you set it to the angle you want, it stays put. It would be nice to have a convex mirror on the passenger side, however. My truck is an extended cab with a 6.5' foot bed and my travel trailer is 30 feet long and I was able to see down both sides of the trailer; I could even see the wheels of the trailer on the driver's side when the rig is straight and I can see the wheels on the passenger side when making right turns, which helps to keep it off the curbs!
Overall a good product but I only give it four stars because of the extremely tight fit, poor padding on the inside adjustment bar and the fact that they left some small scratches on my factory mirror housings. They could have put a little more effort in to getting a better fit, but these are still far better than any universal mirror.
