Installing a Longview Mirror on a 2020 Sierra 1500

Question

Question:

I have the long view mirror for my 2020 gmc when installing the mirror i am finding it hard to bend the back of the mirror to allow the hook to come through to thread the nut. I have injured shoulders . My question is do they sell the hook with half in to 1 inch longer hooks.

The Longview hardware # LO53FR is designed to be used with the Longview mirrors # LO54FR, which are then designed to fit a 2020 GMC Sierra 1500 with stock, unmodified mirrors. With these being custom fit to your vehicle, there will not be alternate hardware available. That being said, there is an easier way to get the hook installed.

If you loosely install the hook on the mirror prior to sliding it over the vehicle mirror, it does make getting the hook into the needed place easier. It can then be tightened down to a nice snug fit. I included an install video showing this method as well.
