    I know that we had run KW T2000 for years and never had a complaint, but I did notice that if you look at the KW/Pete mirrors they have an edge all the way around the mirror face, it sets "in" about an inch or so.

    On the Cascadia's the mirror face is either even with the surround, or "out" a bit.

    Last company I drove for moved the hood mirrors forward about 3 inches which also improved visibility.

    LOL, I am just kidding you, but we are running short hood 113" Cascadias, if I was going to move the front mirrors forward they would look like a carrot on a stick!!!

    Also, while we are on the subject, do you guys miss the door peep windows in the pass. door? I guess if you drive one all of the time you would get used to it, but when I jump outta the Pete into The Cas, I always find myself looking over there.

    I can't say I miss it, nor do I really use mine on the Century. Seems my water jug is always covering it up.

    We got a small hand held squeegee .... At least we can clear the drivers side, unless the team driver is awake... Then we can get both sides clear... TOTALLY worthless mirrors in the rain/wet!! Going to check out that link now...
