I am taking them off!!!!!!
OK...Don't get yer panties all up in a bunch....I am talking about my mirrors.So I first killed the right side when backing up a large trailer through some trees...Then fired my "mon backs" since I had 4 on one side. So I replaced that one.
Then about 4 months later...same dang mirror again! Only against some stock panels that I forgot I had leaned against a post. AHHH!!!!
Well that one still worked, but the base is busted a bit and the mirror is loose. So it stayed.
About a week ago... my buddy rode up on his horse and we were chatting....He went to ride off and his horse swung his head over and nailed the left mirror! Now I have two mirrors that are loose and shake worse than a recovering crack addict as I drive down the road.
Soooooo.....
OK Anyone got spare OEM mirrors they wanna part with? I will take the OEM style, (Large mirrors, fold only to the rear, power adjust, no heat or turn signal), But I won't argue if there are more options on there like heat?, Turn signals?, retract, power retract?
I am sooooo done with these damn mirrors I would prolly do better with my eyes closed. UGH!! And I sure don't wanna pay the $300+ from the dealer.
Thanks all!

Thats a real Bummer,,,and the part with the Horse's head taking one out,,,,Who'd a thunk that would ever happen,,,,Damn??? Did the Horse have Insurance,,?? LOL
Sorry man,,,Could'nt help it!
Ya gotta remember those mirrors are out there a bit,,,,almost like a "Force Field" protecting them,,,I keep mine in(not extended out),,and still sometimes it's close,,,then if I have to park on the street,,I fold the vulnerable one in.
Ever notice at a drive up window's or Banks,,, all the scapes and black marks on the Ballard posts,,or ATM,s etc,,,?

No paddle mirrors for me. I need the big tow types. I haul too many different types of trailers to use the little paddles. From my little 16x7 flat bed to the 4 horse gooseneck to the 40ft flatbed gooseneck. No I don't think the paddles will work. However, I am bidding on another horse trailer now so depending if I win the auction, I may or may not get the ones on Classifieds.
