Or you can JB weld the mirror back together.And put in a LED light that looks 10 tomes better than the factory.

Kam,,
Winegardner is only about 20 miles from me, and i've bought a lot of parts, tires, wheels from them. it's unbelievable what all he carries --- international 4300 doors, mirrors, seats, chevy and gm parts,, pickup wheels and tires new take-offs, just about anything you can imagine. and he's cheap too!

I found a guy in Lima Ohio who sells these mirrors. The company is Winegardner Sales. I talked to Beau at 419-227-9047.

I ordered the replacement mirror for the drivers side and they shipped the new style. Rather than send it back, I odered a passneger side so they match and will keep the old passenger side for my 2003 wrecker, as a spare.

To order these new mirrors complete, the run between $400 to $500 at the dealer where as these takeoff's are right around...

I think it might have something to do when you fold the mirror in all the way it contours to the body.

Your right it was the drivers side mirror, and I ended up replacing both mirror's. You can order just the housing if needed. I'll check with Jeff and let you know...

Dennis, where did you end up leaving this? Are you running around with 2 different styles on one truck?

Reason I ask is I just busted my drivers side mirror on my 2006. I am hoping you broke and replaced your passenger side, and you need a new drivers side to match. If that is the case, I will order a new drivers side and swap with you. This way we would have both matched.

But something tells me you broke the drivers side, too.

Anybody have any idea where to...

Kam,
I have noticed on some of the late 08 models that the mirror's have the "new" design. I certainly hope they are not built like the one I just bought form my medium duty dealers parts dept. As it didn't last a week, before it crack at the base, and I had to install the "old design" back on.

Dennis, I just measured my '03's, '06 and '08, all the same length. The '08 has the same design as your new mirror, where it changes at the convex mirror. My guess is makes it easier to adjust? Easier to clean?

Well one of the two new mirrors I did put one on the truck broke from the vibration on the Interstate. Hm seems as if the design wasn't designed well at all. I haven't had a chance to return it to the dealer yet. So I had to re-install the "old design" back on the truck. So now my mirror's are different on each side of the truck. Nice uh!

Slightly less material, cost cutting. LOL Maybe trimming that little piece off helped with wind noise? I don't think we have a wind noise problem on ours though, and ours are the "old" style. Just replaced one 2 months ago, no design changes then. Interesting.

Jeff,
I should have checked with you prior to purchasing the mirrors. I will start purchasing my parts through your parts department when ever possible in the future. Once again let me say Thank You for the excellent customer service. But it actually it feels more like having a friend help you solve a problem. You sure have taken good care of me and my family.

Kam,
No actually the arm is a different length and there is a notch in the new mirrors. That's right now I have two new mirrors, is was the only way they were going to match. So i was forced to buy one for the other side of the truck. And they do not match my 2008 C-5500 mirrors either. Which I thought was odd. If GM had a design change, why didn't they include it on there new model.
I just ordered a new 09, and am curious to see if that truck is going to have the new...

Well I had one of those accidents again, that nobody quite knows what happened. Anyway I had a broken side mirror. So I called my local GM dealer to order a side mirror. Having replaced one before I thought no big deal. so I ordered the part off the vin number. Well when I picked up the new mirror and brought it back to the shop and installed it. It was a entirely different mirror than the one on the other side of the truck. So I called back to the parts department and ask what's up? The...
