Freightliner Cabover Mirrors & Acc.

Frequently Asked Questions About Freightliner Cabover Mirrors & Acc.

Will these mirrors and mirror accessories fit my specific Freightliner cabover model?

Freightliner cabover models such as the FLA, FLB, FLC, and FLD series were produced over many years with different mirror mounting arms, brackets, and glass sizes. Always check the fitment notes listed on each product page and compare them to your truck's model and year before ordering. If you are unsure, have your VIN or model designation handy and contact our sales team for confirmation prior to purchase.

What types of mirrors and accessories are included in this category?

This category covers the mirror components used on Freightliner cabover trucks, including west coast style mirrors, convex and flat mirror heads, mirror arms and brackets, mirror heads with heating elements, mounting hardware, and related accessories like mirror covers and turn signal integrated mirror heads.

Are heated and powered mirror options available, and how do I know if my truck is wired for them?

Many replacement mirror heads are available in heated and non-heated versions, as well as manual and power-adjustable styles. Before ordering a heated or powered mirror, check your truck's existing wiring and connector setup, since older cabover models may only support manual mirrors unless additional wiring is added.

What material and finish options are available for these mirrors and brackets?

Mirror arms and brackets are typically available in chrome-plated steel or stainless steel, while mirror heads may come with chrome-plated housings or paintable black plastic backings. Chrome finishes offer a polished appearance but may require regular cleaning to prevent pitting or corrosion over time, especially in road salt or heavy weather conditions.

Can I install these mirrors and accessories myself, or do I need a professional?

Most mirror heads, arms, and brackets are designed for straightforward bolt-on replacement using basic hand tools, and many drivers install them without a shop visit. However, if your setup involves heated mirrors, power adjustment wiring, or if the mounting bracket has been damaged or modified, it may be worth having a qualified technician handle the installation to ensure proper electrical connections and secure mounting.
