Peterbilt 587 Mirrors & Acc.

Frequently Asked Questions About Peterbilt 587 Mirrors & Acc.

Will these mirrors and mirror components fit my Peterbilt 587 without modification?

Mirrors and accessories in this category are designed to match the factory mounting points and arm configurations used on the Peterbilt 587, so they typically install using the existing hardware locations. That said, production years can bring minor design changes, so it is a good idea to compare the part number or mounting style listed on the product page to what is currently on your truck before ordering.

What materials and finish options are available for these mirrors?

You will find mirror heads, housings, and brackets offered in a few common finishes, including chrome-plated and black or textured finishes to match different cab trim packages. Housings are generally made from durable plastic or composite materials, while mirror arms and mounting hardware are typically steel for strength and long-term durability on the road.

Are heated and power-adjustable mirror options available?

Many replacement mirror assemblies for the 587 include heated glass and power-adjust features to match factory-equipped trucks. If your truck came with heated or remote-adjust mirrors, look for a listing that specifies those features, and be sure to check that the wiring connector style matches your original setup before installing.

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

Most mirror arms, heads, and brackets can be installed with basic hand tools since they bolt into existing factory mounting points. Wiring for heated or powered mirrors requires connecting to existing harness connectors, which most experienced DIYers can handle, though a professional installer can help if you are not comfortable working with the cab wiring.

How do I know if I need a replacement mirror head, arm, or the full assembly?

If only the glass or mirror head is cracked but the arm and mounting bracket are still solid, a replacement mirror head alone is usually the more economical option. If the arm is bent, the bracket is damaged, or the mirror no longer holds adjustment, replacing the full assembly is generally the better long-term fix. Reviewing the product descriptions in this category will help you identify which components are sold individually versus as a complete unit.
