07-13 GM Towing Mirrors

Well, I am trying to get my truck ready for our first camper which we hope to purchase in the next couple months. I am looking for a set of OEM Towing Mirrors for my 09 Silverado. I want to get a set that is power adjustable and heated. I currently have the non-towing power adjustable heated mirrors that I would be willing to trade. If you have some and don't want to trade just let me know a price.

I have checked Ebay and have found a lot of aftermarket mirrors that look like the OEM parts, but I really want to get the factory parts if I can. I found one set of OEM Mirrors but they were around $350 which is more than I was wanting to spend.

Just let me know if you have some that you want to part with! Thanks!

The OEM power extend are nice, I found a set 6 yrs ago on ebay for $175 and free shipping and it cost $100 to have them installed and the computer re-programmed.

Late model ones are manual out only.

Stopped doing power out on new body style.

Another reason I guess I'll just have to keep my old broken down 05 and just fix whatever goes wrong.

Same on the '06. Manual extending,folding and the lower half is manual. Top half has signal, heat and power adjustment.

$350 is about the going price.

I haven't checked AMPARTs yet. Thanks! I will check them out.

Edit: I just looked at them. That is a great price! How long have you had yours? Any problems? On the GM truck forum I am on some of the guys have had issues with aftermarket replacement not fitting as tight as the OEM mirrors and vibrating, but I don't know if any of them have used this brand. Most of them have bought off of ebay. I really want an OEM set but if I can get an aftermarket set for that price that are equivalent quality I am all for it!

No problems at all. Plug and play Electric, heated and turn signal. The only thing I lost was the curbside parking and elec folding. I love them though. If I remember right they were Kool vue brand. They fit just like OEM, no gaps and level.

I posted a pic, rather bad one but you can see what they look like.

If you replace OEM standard power mirrors with OEM power extend tow mirrors, the computer has to be re-programmed to allow the l-r switch to be put in the neutral position to enable the power extend & retract function. Neat mirrors, but pricey.
