Need rubber gromets.

yeah something like combining your setup with the oem one.

Ok now I'm really confused. My setup and the oem one, my setup is 2 oem setups mashed together.

take the mirror that was on your truck the one thats on most our trucks and mount it on the shaft thats on your truck now. so it looks stock but when you need it you can pull it out another 5"

Aaahhhhh, I get it now. I pick up what your laying down. Yea that would probably be cool, tho it might look tall Cuz the arm is like 6 inches compared to the regular height. Do you know there is a version of the mirrors I took off that do slide out like 4 or 5 inches. In fact I just say a set the other day on a truck and they were fully extended.

Philobeddoe, just so you know. I snagged a couple of these body plugs from work, (the techs have all kinds of extra crap like this in little parts bins) they are rubber and are the same size as the holes in the mirrors for the arms. They are solid in the middle so you can cut a hole to your desired size and they actually fit a little snugger and in my opinion look cleaner than the normal grommets. They are just body plugs that GM uses in alot of the newer cars. Ide imagine that if you went to a hardware store you might be able to find something similar or online you might find someone who is selling a collection of them for dirt cheap. They are 25MM but that's not really important, I just found they fit the holes really nice. Heck you might be able to go to a dealer and ask for some at the parts counter, they could probably find a part number for them pretty quick as they are used on a lots of GM vehicles, they probably come in packs of 10 or some amount. I can't see GM selling them individually. They gotta be pretty cheap too as there isn't anything to them.







I'll post a few pics as soon as I swap them for the other grommets.

Thanks, i see how those would work great.  I'll start looking for them. Hey, whats a fair price for a clean oem stainless  below eye level mirror?

[LTZ C20]

Uhhhh idk repro's are like 30 bucks .

[philo_beddoe]

Would $50 be reasonable for the real deal if in good shape?

[LTZ C20]

Is that for 1 or for 2?

[philo_beddoe]

For 1, each.

[LTZ C20]

I guess for OEM units, that's probably not that bad. The mirrors I put on are OEM and it was over 100 for those.

[philo_beddoe]

Each??

[LTZ C20]

Each??

Haha no, for the set. I would have loved to see the look on your face tho if I had said yes.

[philo_beddoe]

Ok, thats fair for oem in goog condition.

[LTZ C20]

Ok, thats fair for oem in goog condition.

I would guess yea.

[philo_beddoe]

Those factory grommets came in, and they do fit in perfect, of course they do, their OEM.  Some things we can get away with, but ya just can't beat OEM.

Regarding switching from the dumbo mirrors to the sport mirrors, you could, but you would need the internal brackets for the sport mirrors. They are supposed to be tack welded to the inside of the door IIRC, and the dumbo mirrors leave an extra hole you would have to weld shut and repaint...Its been a while since I removed mine and chucked the tiny little pieces of garbage into the nearest trash can in favor of the OE dumbo mirrors.
