The mirrors look much better. You do not need the big ones if you are not planing on pulling a big trailer. Is that molding I see over the mirrors back to the rear? Where did that come from? Was this an option on our Burbans? Looks good and you did a great job mounting those mirrors. I know the roof rack is a dealer option and maby the molding was too?

I'm pretty sure the upper molding was a factory option, but I will defer to some of the senior guys on the board.

Rob, how does the passenger side one work for you? I can't seem to see much out of mine, but I did realize after mounting it that it's not supposed to be in the same area that the driver's side one is.

My Burb previously had the upper trim as well. The factory put many large holes in the body for the trim clips to attach, and I was always having leakage issues from the holes. When I had the truck redone, I removed the trim and had the holes mig welded up.

If you follow the link below I have pics of the glove box stickers that list the moldings. Both have the upper and lower which is not printed so not sure which code is which. Can also see some of the holes on the parts sub pic's were the molding was removed (and drive door of panel truck).

That's not pink, it's salmon...

Actually it's a faded red Puget Sound Trucking hat in memory of my Grandpa (it was his truck).
