Chevy/GM Auto Towing Mirrors

Post by Tim »

Took my TV to my local Chevy dealer today to have the oil changed and purchase an extended warranty. Got that done and also told them that my towing mirrors were sticking occasionally when I wanted to extend them. The mechanic finally got one to stick and they are replacing both Friday. As the mechanic said, they just have cheap plastic gears. Anyone else here had problems your GMC auto extending mirrors? Just curious. Tim

I have the manuel ones. I understand GM stopped making the auto extend for the reason you discribed.

On my 07 "Classic", which has almost all available options including all the towing options, they are manual pull-outs. Must have quit installing them.

I'll have a talk with the dealer in the morning when I get the new morrors put on and see what the deal is. Thanks.

Talked to the local Chevy folks yesterday, actually the truck manager, and he stated they offer the automatic mirrors with the LT package. The new one work fine.

Sounds strange, mine is a LT3 and still pull-out manual type???

Have to agree with your thoughts as well, saw two 07 D/A 3500 duallies on the lot and one was an LT, both had the manual mirrors. I like the design, more functional than the ones I have as the bottom portion includes a convex mirror.
