I feel like the reinforcement would be the hole drilled. There is an obvious spot for the hole to be. But I guess there is really no way of knowing unless we have 2 torn apart side by side.

I think the way they are installed by these guys will work out just fine.

Thanks for the response. I need to add them to my Sierra but GM told me no without the supports. Those pics sure looked like they were solid.

Curiosity got the better of me and I went out and pulled back the plastic for a look see at the inside of my door where the mirror mounts. I have a factory equipped Max tow LTZ with the tow mirrors. I can say the inside looks exactly like Jon's does with no noteable difference on the inside. Without pulling the mirror and comparing 2 trucks side by side it would be hard to tell for sure if there is any difference in layers of metal or extra reinforcement on the outside. FWIW mine are rock solid even over all the freaking potholes we have around here.

I think I am going to add them. The door looked like previous year mounts. I have had them on my last 2 Sierra's.

I want to get these mirrors but I don't want to spend $422 from the dealer. Where is the cheapest I can get the factory towing mirrors?

Anybody heard anything on the rumors that GM was going to make a power-fold version of these tow mirrors?

How does that plastic cover come off to access the mirror bolts? I just took a look and it goes all the way around the window? Don't want to break the plastic.

power fold in option would be damn nice.
not crazy about them in black plastic, but love them painted.
nice mirrors. can see great with them and look nice on the truck
but I really really think they look best painted

I don't know why GM didn't. Ford already have them power Fold and extend out

I got mine from from GMwholesaledirect.com. Just $600.00 and change for the pair including shipping. I found some where the price looked good but shipping was $50 to $75. This was the best deal I found. Also reference an above post, my dealer pulled the back panel and trim off a work truck with mirror package, side by side the door on my truck looked thee same. Here is what my order looked like:

    • 3.59 Kroger’s in Montgomery Tx. 20 cents higher than most around here. Very unusual. Saturday they were 3.49. 
    • Starting at 17 running parts for my father’s construction business to haul our equipment. Eventually doing shows, sales and training after purchase. I drove a minimum of 50K miles a year. Half hauling something. After retiring 30K miles a year to the last 2 years 15K miles a year. 2/3rds highway driving. The major contribution to fatigue for me is from anticipation and awareness. I just don’t relax. Too many idiots on the road. There’s two kinds. The group that never leave the left lane tied together afraid to let anyone in doing 80. They’re mostly on weekends. Then the left lane sleepers usually next to a tractor trailer not advancing. Eventually the tractor trailer will drift over the sleeper will wake up. The train moves and the tailgaters who are usually mad as hell. You definitely don’t want to mix with them. The tail wagging bumper puller’s with under powered trucks are holding the tractor trailer up. That bunch are dangerous. I usually pace ahead all that. Unless there’s a gap when I can chill and let the speeders pass. I tried all different types of driving. I stay to the right except to pass, it’s the law that’s getting in forced more now because of road rage. I was so happy when my wife didn’t want to do the camping life. I had enough of pulling for work. The family has a bus and fifth wheel. I haven’t driven either one since retiring. No thanks. 
    • Yesterday a suggested youtube video thumbnail caught my attention so I watched through it and it was a bunch of short clips someone gathered together of people pulling trailers, a lot of them were bumper pull holiday trailers and a pickup or suv pulling it. a few fifth wheels as well, some motorhome crashes also. The tail wagging the dog theme was quite evident in numerous self inflicted accidents that took out vehicles around them sometimes in the process as the unit finally swung around and flipped over in the middle of the highway. Or the other classic which literally could be called "I forgot the trailer was back there" in passing another vehicle on a multi lane one way freeway and then cutting back in line before the back of the rv trailer had passed the front of the passed vehicle and often in front of a tractor trailer and that never ended well. Or the wide kick out swing of the rear of a long travel trailer as they have so much overhang behind the axles and the trailer smashes into the side of vehicles in the next lane over ( typically sharp turns in city driving ). It makes one leery for good reason to be near an RV trailer after watching a video like that and be it on the highway, in town, or at a gas station where that rear end comes swinging around due to the fuel station being so cramped and not intended for larger trailers. I wonder how many officers have heard those words though "I forgot it was back there" as they investigate the accident LOL. 
    • $5.10 for regular at the Kroger   It's been 6 months... is this the "new normal" ?
    • Just because a person can buy a travel trailer or a motorhome doesn't mean they can drive it properly. My observation during my RVing years.
