Installing K Source Custom Fit Towing Mirrors on a 2006 GMC Sierra 2500HD
Question:
I ordered these for a 2006 GMC Sierra 2500HD old style body with standard mirrors. I tried to put them on but they appear way too tight. The bottom clip does not snap into position. I was cold outside freezing and I didnt want to force them on because I was worried about cracking the plastic. Should I wait until the weather warms up or is there another trick to getting them on?

Expert Reply:
Installation could have been affected by the weather. If you leave the towing mirrors, # KS80800, inside for a while so they are warm, that might be the solution. I have also included a link to a video that shows a typical installation that might help. Our installers clip the top on first then rotate it down to snap onto the bottom. Other than that there really is no trick to it.
If your truck has extendable, telescoping, or full chrome mirrors, the K Source towing mirrors will not fit.
