    I have a 06 387 and was wondering if there is a way to adjust the spot mirrors.. i have tried to move them by hand but they feel like they are not suppose to move. i wanted some advice before I mess up and break them.. the passenger side is way off I am looking more at my door then down the side of my truck. Thanks for the help

    You should be able to adjust them, meaning they swivel on the back. There are two types we deal with; center mount and offset. Check and see if yours is center mount on the back, and if it is then look into getting an offset mount.

    Try loosening the 3 screws on the back of the mirror. Be carefull you do not snap them off. if they are siezed up i would leave them alone. If they are not heated,replace them. Easy,cheap swap!

    Yup,the 1 on the door mirror. If the truck has not been in salt and calcium chloride it should loosen up pretty easily. Use the right screwdriver,make sure it fits the slots. Should be a philips. If they are stuck spray penetrating oil on them and tap with a small hammer. Do this for a few days they should loosen up. I think the last spot mirror i bought was maybe $20-25.00.
