How do you find them in the rain and snow? I find the 04-05 mirrors really get dirty with the rain and slush wrapping around and hitting the mirror then turning grey and making the mirror unable to see out of.

I don't find them getting any dirtier, but it is not something I noticed with the small paddle mirrors I used to have.
I do find them way brighter at night when you have someone behind you. More mirror to reflect light at your eyes, so I find myself folding them in slightly and using the bottom mirror to still watch traffic around me, but that also needs some getting used to. It is either that or losing all the traffic behind you.

With my 05 tow mirrors, the bottom mirror gets so dirty and its so small to begin with, plus, with me lifted..I use the lower mirror alot. With the 08 mirrors, you have so much mirror to use. Just not sure if the 08 box style mirror goes with the curves of the X?

Plus I'm planning on putting on one of our PIT style / ram bar type front bumper with the led lights as parT of our demo rig. So I can write my ex off

Do the motors for the fold or extend functions have limit switches or overrun clutches on them?

Thank you to all your efforts on this guys! I am chomping at the bit to do this! Just waiting for the right timing.

Has everyone who has done this just added the switches to the dash? Or has anyone used/modified the Factory switch?

Thanks again all!
