Frequently Asked Questions About International S1700-S1900 Mirrors & Acc.
Will these mirrors fit my specific International S-Series truck model and year?
Our International S1700-S1900 mirrors are designed to fit S-Series trucks manufactured from 1979 through 2001. This includes S1700, S1800, S1900, S2100, S2200, S2300, S2500, and S2600 models. However, International made several door and mounting variations throughout these years. We recommend checking your existing mirror arm mounting bolt pattern before ordering. Most models use either a 5-bolt or 6-bolt door mount configuration. If you're unsure about compatibility, contact our support team with your VIN number for verification.
Are these mirrors made from durable materials that can withstand heavy commercial use?
Yes, our International S-Series mirrors feature heavy-duty construction designed for commercial trucking applications. Mirror heads are typically made from high-impact ABS plastic or die-cast aluminum housings with stainless steel hardware. Mirror arms use either chrome-plated steel or powder-coated steel for corrosion resistance. The glass is automotive-grade with options for heated and non-heated variants. Many customers report these aftermarket mirrors lasting 5-7 years in daily commercial use with proper maintenance.
How difficult is the installation process, and what tools do I need?
Installation typically takes 30-45 minutes per mirror for someone with basic mechanical skills. You'll need standard hand tools including socket wrenches (usually 13mm, 15mm, and 17mm), Phillips and flathead screwdrivers, and possibly a drill if mounting holes need adjustment. Most mirrors bolt directly to existing mounting points on the door. The main challenge is routing wiring for heated or motorized mirrors through the door boot. We include installation instructions with each mirror, and many customers successfully complete installation without professional help.
What mirror styles and finishes are available for my International S-Series?
We offer several mirror styles including West Coast (larger rectangular), aerodynamic, and hood-mounted spot mirrors. Finish options include chrome, black powder coat, and stainless steel. Most popular configurations are the 7" x 16" West Coast style for main mirrors and 6" convex spot mirrors. Heated glass is available on most models, and some feature motorized adjustment. Chrome finishes remain most popular for owner-operators, while fleet trucks often choose black for lower maintenance.
Can I upgrade from manual to heated or power mirrors on my International S-Series?
Yes, upgrading to heated or power mirrors is possible on most S-Series trucks. Heated mirrors require running 12V power from your fuse box through the door to the mirror. Most installers tap into the existing door speaker or window motor circuit. Power mirrors require additional wiring for the control switch, which mounts in the door panel or dash. The door wiring boot usually has space for additional wires, but you may need to enlarge the opening slightly. Complete upgrade kits with wiring harnesses and switches are available for popular configurations.
