Review on 🚚 Truck-Lite 97662 Rectangular Stainless Steel Mirror, Medium Duty Truck, 7-1/2''x10-1/2'', 5'' Elbow by Keith Aluguvelli

Revainrating 2 out of 5

The mirror is fine, the problem is in the elbow

The mirror itself is in perfect order. The problem is in the mount. The original Ford mirror that this unit replaces has a durable stainless steel bracket. A hollow tube with a threaded insert pressed into the tube can be exchanged. The problem is that after a few transom adjustments, the pressed-in insert starts to spin freely in the tube. I had to crimp the tubing around the insert to prevent this. I suspect I'll have to re-crimp the hose several times. There is nothing worse than driving on the highway at high speed and the mirror rotates 90 degrees because the wind resistance is stronger than a molded insert. I am currently looking for OEM mirrors as I don't think they will work for me in the long run
