GOLD Star
The OTHER shaky mirror fix... 
After a few years of being on the fence, I purchased a pair of Clearview telescoping towing mirrors about 3 months ago. They are made in Australia and are imported and distributed by Atlantic British Ltd. in NY. At $550ish for the set, they are not cheap, but the quality is top notch and from a towing standpoint, the view is head and shoulders above the stock mirrors. I use my 80 for towing in my job so this was a "justifiable" business expense for me.
Pros
Cons
As with many items currently, the wait time was a few months for these mirrors to be in stock. When I finally received the mirrors, the passenger mirror was fitted with the incorrect harness adapter from the manufacturer. After emailing Atlantic British Ltd about the issue, in less than a week I had the correct wiring harness in my hands from Australia along with a few beer cozies for my trouble. Mistakes happen. It is how a company deals with them that makes a difference. I wouldn't hesitate to order from either company again.

- Excellent field of view
- Wide angle section field of view is amazing - there are NO blind spots
- No shake or wind noise
- Installation is easy and mates with the OEM wiring and controls
- Customer service of both the manufacturer and distributor is excellent
Cons
- High purchase price - I realize new stock OEM mirrors could have been sourced cheaper
- Unlike OEM mirrors, passenger main mirror section is just flat glass as opposed to convex
- Even folded in, the Clearview mirrors still stick out 9" from the truck (equal to the stock mirror in its normal position)
