Kool Vue towing mirrors

I was wondering if many of you guys have the towing mirrors on your trucks from Kool Vue? I was wanting to get some but I'm wondering about the quality.....I got some factory replacement mirrors off of LMC truck & it looks like they are basically the same mirrors as the Kool Vue & the quality was bad. Both of the mirrors have a lot of play in them and they wiggle around....Nothing like the quality of the original mirrors.....

Are there many of you that are pleased with the quality of your towing mirrors you have right now? Is Kool Vue the only option for the power/heated towing mirrors?

Thanks for any information.....

Put them on several years ago, pics in my gallery. They are basically exactly what is on the 3rd gen trucks. I've even smacked one of mine against a concrete pylon and they are still doing the job for me. Great product in my opinion!

**** makes one that is both power and heated. They are a little bit more than the kool vue but the mirror area is larger and I like that. I just bought a set and will be putting them on my truck soon. Everything I have heard has been good about them. I found mine on ebay (new) and got them for less than the kool vue new.

Thanks. I appreciate it. Those look good on your truck. Have you noticed there being any movement in the mirrors when you are driving?

Thanks. I'd like to see some pictures after you get yours installed. I've seen them, but I've never seen them installed on a Dodge.

I second the *****. I've had mine for a couple of years and they are much better than stock 3rd gens. If you have larger tires they won't look as bad. At first the truck looked like Dumbo but I've since adjusted to it.

Yes they shake as bad as the original mirrors - but I'm used to it now.

Mine are as good as the stockers.

They vibrate a little in high winds but other than that I have been happy with them for over three years now.
