New sport mirror trouble

Got these new mirrors and they are a nice quality but pass. side won,t move far in enough to see the side of the truck, it hits the stem of the mirror. I don,t think there is a solution but just to let you know.

Where did you get them? Does the passenger side have the "closer than they appear" or is it a plain mirror?

My passenger side mirror glass is out on my truck. I glued a new mirror in there years ago (plain mirror) and it fell back out. Need to get a replacement.

I got them from summit , $40 I think. You can get the pass. side with the convex . The plain ones are either right or left from united pacific or you can get fancy with a built in led indicator light inside the mirror

I got the same ones for my 73. I filed down the area of the base so mirror would move more. They do not hold position very well especially when going thru automatic car wash. I still had my OE with broke mirror. Finally found mirror replacement on ebay and OE holds very good.

those are the same as what "N2TRUX" installed on his "Jake" build. they are by UP and I was always under the impression that they are good quality, have never heard about any issues... hhhmmm, maybe try to "flip" the mirrors? I don't think they are side specific, but might be? I am getting ready to install a set of LMC sport mirrors on my '86 and did notice that the mirror placement might be be a little precarious.... keep us posted...
