ok did the search and not getting anything, but from tcash picks there was a good bit of info. in the older posts guys had a problem with the mounting bolts for the mirrors, too short. but it seemed like the more recent posts were favorable for the busdepot mirrors. does that sound right ?
any reason i should not pull the trigger ?
thanks _________________ 1972ish westfalia

Going back 5 years but as I recall it was the Wolfsburg West mirrors that were the good ones

thks guys. i checked all the links you provided. dont know why the search didnt work for me. i really like that the blind spot is eliminated with the resto bus ones. at least i think thats what they are saying _________________ 1972ish westfalia
