Frequently Asked Questions About Freightliner FLT Cabover Mirrors & Accessories

Will these mirrors fit my specific year and model of Freightliner FLT cabover?

Most aftermarket mirrors for FLT cabovers are designed to fit models from 1978-1991, including the FLT 86, FLT 96, and FLT 120 series. However, mounting configurations can vary between early (1978-1985) and late (1986-1991) models. Check the product description for specific year ranges, and measure your existing mirror arm mounting points - standard spacing is typically 6-8 inches center-to-center. If you're unsure, contact us with your VIN and we'll verify compatibility.

Are these mirrors made of metal or plastic, and how durable are they?

Quality varies by manufacturer. Premium replacement mirrors feature die-cast aluminum brackets with stainless steel arms, while economy options may use ABS plastic housings with chrome-plated steel. For maximum durability in commercial use, look for mirrors with metal construction, vibration-dampening mounts, and heated glass options. West Coast style mirrors typically offer the most robust construction for long-haul applications.

Do I need any special tools or modifications to install these mirrors?

Basic installation typically requires standard hand tools: socket set (usually 9/16" and 5/8"), Phillips and flathead screwdrivers, and thread locker. Most direct replacement mirrors use existing mounting holes, but some upgrades may require drilling new holes. Electric heated mirrors need basic wiring knowledge to connect to your existing harness. Installation usually takes 30-45 minutes per side. Professional installation is recommended if you're adding features like motorized adjustment or integrated turn signals.

What's the difference between West Coast and door-mounted mirror styles?

West Coast mirrors mount on the front fender and provide a wider field of view with their large rectangular design - ideal for spotting vehicles in multiple lanes. Door-mounted mirrors attach directly to the door frame, offering a more aerodynamic profile and easier adjustment from the driver's seat. West Coast styles are preferred for heavy hauling and urban delivery, while door-mounted options work well for highway driving. Both styles are available in chrome, black powder coat, or stainless steel finishes.

Can I upgrade from manual to heated or motorized mirrors on my FLT?

Yes, but it requires additional wiring. Heated mirrors need a 12V power source and switch installation - most drivers tap into the existing auxiliary circuit. Motorized mirrors require running control wires to a dash-mounted joystick controller. Complete upgrade kits include wiring harnesses and detailed instructions. Budget 2-3 hours for a full heated/motorized conversion. Many drivers find the upgrade worthwhile for improved visibility in all weather conditions and reduced fatigue from manual adjustments.
