Please post here "verdict" and/or pictures of the Kool-Vue tow mirrors identical to OEM Dodge.

Thank you.

 

I dont have a picture yet, I'll get one tomorrow but they look stock. They bolt right on and they plug into the factory wiring.

 

here is a pic from the TDR thread.... hopefully mine will arrive today and all goes well. I have the factory non power tow mirrors and have to add the door and dash/heat switch.

Ok here's a couple pics( not very good quality took them quickly on my phone ) the first one is a pic of the wire in the base you have to route it this way to avoid pinching the wires (don't ask how I know). The red line is just so you can see easier where it has to go.

 

how do you mount them without the support plate? or can you buy the support plate somewhere. i also noticed the nuts are different. any help would be appreciated.

 

Now I saw that some people said you could buy them from autopartswarehouse.com. Although, I can not find them! Can I get a link for the challenged individual here!!

 

My truck allready had the support plates becouse I had tow mirrors before, just not the power heated tow mirrors. Im sure you could get the support plates from chrysler. I am sure that if you got the support plates from chrysler it would have the nuts also. The top bolt on the drivers mirror need to be shortened becouse otherwise it hits the mirror control thing. Also the support base needs the top bolt hole flattened out to get the needed room for the control switch. What I did was drill out the raised part of the support plate and weld a flat washer on instead. Im sure there are many ways to overcome that small issue. I got mine from car-stuff.com part number dg49el and dg49er they have a 24hour call center.

 

The support plates can be bought from Dodge, the part numbers are somewhere in the TDR thread. Autopartswarehouse and car-stuff have pulled the mirrors because they were all bought out. I know, I got my box of them today, I only got the driver side because of the backorder situation. APW said I would get the other one in a week or ten days. Get yours from car-stuff, the customer service people I dealt with were pretty lame.

That sucks to here. They sold out fast. I wonder if they can be bought directly from kool vue, when I ordered mine I couldn't find a phone number for kool vue.

 

Kool-Vue doesn't do retail, only deals with vendors.

Ya I figured they only dealt with vendors. Im also pretty sure car-parts.com and autopartswarehouse.com are the same company or partner companies. Becouse I bought mine from car-stuff.com but the emails say autopartswarehouse. I think if anyones interested in them the best bet would be to phone them up and see when they will be getting more, atleast that way they'll know what kind of demand for them there is.

 

Kool-vue doesn't reply to the 'contact us' part of their website either. Kurt

 

I ordered mine a week ago through autopartswarehouse. I have since heard they are now sold out and will be a few weeks out before they get any more. I should be receiving mine today. I will keep you informed on the installation.

 

How much were these?

 

I ordered mine on 1/28/08 and got a delivery date of yesterday, which was right, except they only sent the left side, said the right was out of stock/backorder. Hope you have better luck!

Clay, I paid $341.00 w/free shipping.(They sent me a 10% discount e-coupon)
