When DW busted ours with just 2000 miles on the clock it was only $200 OEM from Ford. I have a buddy that does body work for a Chevy dealership order & do the install for me since I have done computer work for him.

He couldn't believe the difference in cost between OEM Ford & GM towing mirrors. He figured I had only priced out the replacement glass.

There are definately cheaper options online but with his body shop discount & no shipping charges we got the Ford one.

Our 2K8 Silverado Duramax clipped the garage edge, breaking the lower convex mirror and popping out the upper powered mirror (turn signal, up/down, right/left).


What a bad Silverado! I certainly hope you disciplined your Silverado for doing such a thing!

Try this place:

I bought mine there. Identical to OEM, right down to the Muth USA signal mirror.

I had to replace the lower mirror on the driver's side of my '06 Silverado as the garage door opening shrunk overnight!

I bought the replacement lower mirror at the Chevy dealer for just over $40. It comes in a replacement kit and is an easy DIY.

Did the same on my 2005 2500HD with the turn signal and electric extend/retract. Cheapest new I found was on Ebay for $300.00. Dealer was double that. I did google the internet to get lesson on removing inside door panel before replacing the mirror. Can't tell it's been replaced and I also am more carefull backing into the garage

If your handy, order it on-line and forget GM, bet you save a ton of money. Safe travels.
