does anyone have a pic of the glass portion? Curious if they have the stick on spot morrors, or do they have an integrated one like other mirrors. Are they made by ****, or Mopar?

 

if they slide out they are ****, if they flip up they are Mopar

unless they've changed on the ****'s you have to buy the stick-ons & put them on yourself

 

Yea they are made by **** but carried by Dodge. **** discontinued their dodge mirrors and "sold" it to Dodge. I believe they are just flat glass.

 

Unlike ther regular **** ones which require stick on mirrors, on the Mopar versions of them the spot mirror is integrated into the glass similar to the Mopar flip out tow mirrors. If I have a chance, I'll try to post a picture tomorrow.

 

PaulG, that would be great. Im really trying to decide if I want those mirrors, but can not seem to find a good pic of the glass.

 

send me your e-mail addy via a PM and I'll send you pics of the mirrors that Dodge has.

The new 2010 flip up tow mirrors have been redone. They actually corrected there mistake and made them much better.....LOL..... I wonder if they will fit on our trucks????

 

Here are a couple of pics. (Sorry the truck was dirty.) As you can see the spot mirrors are integrated. Also, it is hard to see, but there is a small Ram logo in the bottom middle of the glass.





Let me know if you want some more specific pictures.

 

I have a couple pictures looking out the mirrors from the drivers seat. If someone PM'sme with an e-mail addy who can post pics I will send them to you. OR, PaulG might be able to do that kind of a pic for you.

thanks for the pics. too bad it is integrated the way it is. the New 2010 mirros did fix some of the issue, I just would prefer a vertical mirror, closer to the cab for daily driving.

PaulG, what is your opinion on use of these mirrors, over the flip out style, have you tried both? is visibility any better with this style?

CD in NM, you have a pm.

 

plug ugly - Sent you pics to your work addy. Also answered your PM.


I have to say that I am very pleased with these mirrors. The DO increase your visibility tremendously. The spot mirror is very functional as well. The old flip outs were a PITA to see out of even when flipped out, not as much width as these elephant ears are, and width is also important. While you could manipulate the electrical stuff to move/turn the mirror, that was a PITA sometimes, mirror motor is really slow.

Even with them retracted, you have a good view around an 8' wide trailer, extended, the view is awesome. I'd get another pair in a heartbeat, in fact, I'm putting a set on my Ford PU I like them so much.

here is alink to the pics if the host doesnt allow them

they look wider, but shorter than the flip out style, does that seem accurate? I have a hard time seeing out the flip out style, I just dont get good depth perception like I did with my ford mirrors.

 

Sorry my truck was dirty too, guess that goes with winter. Where I am parked in those pics does not give a good view as it would going down the road and seeing the road behind, but the pics DO give you an idea of what can be seen in the spot mirrors and down the truck sides.

The mirror heads are 11"s tall and 10"s wide, a little bigger than the stock mirrors are both directions. They sit 17"s to the outside edge retracted, and 21/22"s extended. Because of their size, you kind of get an optical illusion that they are in closer to the truck, but they are actually out further than meets the eye.

My truck originally came with the flip out mirrors, and I could not see with them at all. My biggest issue with the flip mirrors was that the spot mirror was in the top corner instead of the bottom (when folded down). So, when somebody offered to buy my flip mirrors, I jumped on the chance to try the slide out ones.

With that said the slide out mirrors also took me a little while to get adjusted to on the passenger side, but I attribute that mostly to getting comfortable with a flat glass mirror on the passenger side. (My previous '99 2500 didn't have towing mirrors.) I definately rely more on the spot mirror on the passenger side to see cars than are right on my quarter panel or bumper. However, I've now had these mirrors over three years, and I like them. I agree with what has been said in previous posts, the mirror head is actually much bigger than what the pictures make them out to be and that makes them look closer to the truck than they actually are. In fact, I almost never slide them out when towing because I can still see fine; but my trailer is only an 18ft. And as an added bonus, the lights look really cool at night.
