Vent visors + tow mirrors?
Will this work? Packages always say "non tow mirrors". Are the shape of the bases different? Anyone do this successfully?
Thanks,
Shawn

By "tow mirror" are you referring to 3rd gen flip out mirrors installed on a 2nd gen? If so, I've got a set on my truck with the gts ventgaurds. The curve for the mirror base at the very end is slightly different, added some 3m double stick foam tape like they include on the visor to that area and pressed hard for a few minutes. Fits fine now.

Does GTS offer visors for quad cabs as well, or no?
Thanks,

Here is a decent writeup that I've seen. http://www.klenger.net/dodge/2nd-gen...g-mirrors.html In my case, my truck (99) had power/heated mirrors, but the wires/connector from the new power/heated mirrors were not the same. I've done plenty of automotive wiring in my life, efi swaps, etc... but this was still a PITA trying to figure out which wire went where. None of the matching wires were the same color and my FSM was no help. Somewhere I wrote down which wire went to which, and if I can find it I'll post up. Also used a press to compress the spring and put on the retainer. I'm not sure how you would do it otherwise. You'll see what I mean when you take apart the base.
Not sure if they do or not. My truck is a qc, but I only did the fronts. Might try JC whitney.

When I bought my vent visors, they didn't make any for the quad cabs since the windows open from the rear, and not from the top like a typical window.
I have ventvisors on both trucks, and the tow mirrors on both, and they fit fine. You can see they aren't designed for the bigger base, but its not enough to concern me at all.

That's an auction for a set. Also, they offer the plates for a nominal fee. No I don't work for them, no this isn't a sales pitch
There is a pretty lengthy thread on here somewheres, with lots of folks running them who are very happy with them.
