 Good and Bad June 12, 2010
Steven Myers (Simi Valley, CA USA)
The mirrors appear well made and fit my truck perfectly. That's the good news. The bad news is installation...not the difficulty, but product design issues.
The first issue is there is one 10mm bolt per side that you need to install. This bolt is to self tap (although not a self tapping screw)into the mirror's aluminum base plate. The bolts are too small (or the holes to large)and the bolts won't stay in and strip out immediately. There are 3 holes in the base plate. One would have been good but this is not the hole that could be used due to alignment...to back up my "hole" argument, the bolts, when the mirrors were unpacked, were already started in the hole that had to be used. So a trip to the store and a purchased of 1/4-20s solved the problem. Very poor design.
The second issue is when tightening the nuts onto the pre-installed studs, I stripped one out. If there are torque limits this was not itemized.
It all comes down to being cheap....not using inserts in an aluminum casting. Flat out cheap.

This is the second pair I have purchased. They are everything they say. Make towing much much easier and safer.
