You want the stainless version of those mirrors and your problem will be solved.

Re: Mirrors that Don't rust?? #$%@
Yeah you need Stainless Steel. Chrome always rusts because they plate them cheaply.
I have LMC SS Mirrors and they've been great for 3 years now. Also LMC sells Seperate Left and Right mirrors, not the one mirror fits both doors type. so they fit better too. |

Re: Mirrors that Don't rust?? #$%@
Just wanted to add to this. I had been told that truckandcarshop.com is as good as LMC. Well, the set of mirrors (that are described as having stainless steel parts) have hardware that is rusting after a few months.
Avoid truck and car shop out of Orange County and stick with LMC! |

Are the factory mirrors stainless? Neither one of mine has rusted, granted they're not the shiniest you ever seen. Nothing on my truck is.

Re: Mirrors that Don't rust?? #$%@
I have bought from LMC and the Truck shop both have been very reasonable in answering my problems or concerns..

Re: Mirrors that Don't rust?? #$%@
Oh another problem is the cheap lmc mirrors use plastic innards instead of metal like oem, resulting in them moving every time I close the door harder than a nudge

Re: Mirrors that Don't rust?? #$%@
The cheapest way to go would find a pair in a junk yard and a good stainless polish will clean them right up. remember if a magnet sticks to them they aren't true stainless.

Re: Mirrors that Don't rust?? #$%@
I was thinking that those were van mirrors. I see a lot of those with the curved arm in the junkyard, all on vans.
