Aftermarket Mirrors

I have some aftermarket mirrors that were on my pickup when I bought it. I don't have a clue as to who makes them but thought some of you guys might know. Several of you guys have asked about them so here are a couple of close up pics. Hope they turn out OK.

Re: Aftermarket Mirrors

Those look great, but I have two questions:

How are they mounted?

Can you still use the wing window?

Re: Aftermarket Mirrors

The wing window opens about 3/4 full. These seem to fit in the corners as if they were custom made and fiberglassed in. I haven't found screws yet. Bad thing is they still have the primer on the inside behind the wing window. Though dark primer, it's still visible from the inside.

They Are 88-02 Chevy Sport Mirrors. I'm Curious How They Mounted Them Though. Maybe A Picture From The Inside? Thanks Rick!

Re: Aftermarket Mirrors

Two screws accessible from the wing open position. Remove them and two screws mount the bracket inside the window frame. Easier than I thought. The screws were painted over with dark primer and really aren't easy to see.

Re: Aftermarket Mirrors

They look good. What are they like to see out of? Say compared to original sport mirrors.

Driver side is pretty good. Passenger side is not so good. Kinda has a blind spot. Rear view and a big back window saved my bacon a couple of times.
