    Couple of my drivers have been complaining that when in the rain the mirrors on the truck are useless, anyone else here having this issue. If so any fixes.

    I was down at the dealer a couple of days a ago and did notice a brand new 2014 truck there with a small black plastic deflector on the inside edge of the mirror (upright), however when I questioned the parts guy about them he did NOT have a part number?

    Thanks Stan

    There is a company in Canada that makes an aftermarket version of the DEFLECTOR you saw, I had a link for it and will post it when I find it.

    Post #7 has the same link I mentioned.

    If your trucks have a mirror heater it does the job very well just gotta leave them on

    I have seen those mirror deflectors even on here. I just can't find the post or the link to them. They are like $50.

    Thanks guys, I'll look around. To be honest I have never really noticed it, but come to think of it if I'm on a long trip, or in bad weather I'm in my Pete. I guess I have only driven the Cascadia's in good weather or just around here. lol

    Thanks Stan
