Not like an "accident" but where someone bent them in... hell maybe someone bent them in too fit into a smaller garage... I dont know... and yeah the Canadians could very well be different.

didn't think they would bend without getting kinky or snap/break off

Yours are slightly taller too, so they sit higher and closer to the body. Wierd.

^^^Looks like they may have flipped the support bar end for end and reinstalled them. If you look at the wreck burb above you can see how long they are inside the mirror housing.

My truck had some cheap aftermarket mirrors on it when I bought it and they were shaped the same way.

The bent ones come off the vans. On the truck the wing window hits the mirror, but not on the vans.
