2004 G3500 Mirrors

Post by rpaoness »

I had a cracked drivers mirror and a passenger mirror that had reflection defects and convex spot mirror that fell off on the box truck. I was looking for "good" junkyard replacements and after watching for 6+ months never really found anything decent. I wanted to replace the mirror heads with a more-modern style like this, and ideally find a power/heated kit with the "deluxe" mirror style:
Deluxe mirror style: https://www.velvac.com/sites/default/fi ... _flyer.pdf
Kit that includes a remote/heater switch: https://www.ebay.com/itm/387457591745?_ ... p_homepage

But since I couldn't find any cheap (all were >$400), I wound up buying "stock" replacements. I got a genuine Velvac (OE design/OE supplier) passenger assembly including arm as "used" but in new-condition from Amazon for $55:

And a Velvac replacement glass/convex/trim kit for $33:

I'm a little disappointed that I didn't modernize, but at least I have two mirrors now with no defects...
