Western Star 4700 Truck Mirrors & Acc.

Frequently Asked Questions About Western Star 4700 Truck Mirrors & Acc.

Will these mirrors and mirror accessories fit my Western Star 4700 without modification?

Mirrors and related hardware in this category are designed to match the mounting configuration and arm style used on the Western Star 4700. However, mirror setups can vary slightly by production year and cab configuration, so it's important to confirm your truck's specific mirror arm type, mounting bracket style, and heated/powered wiring setup before ordering to ensure a proper fit.

Do these mirrors come with heated glass or power adjustment features?

Many mirror assemblies and replacement heads are available in heated, powered, or manual versions. Product listings will specify which features are included, such as heated glass, integrated turn signals, or motorized adjustment. Check your existing mirror's wiring and features so the replacement matches the capability of your truck's electrical system.

What's the difference between a full mirror assembly and just a replacement mirror head or glass?

A full mirror assembly includes the housing, arm mount, and glass, while a replacement head or glass kit only replaces the damaged glass or housing cover on an existing arm. If your mounting arm and bracket are still in good condition, replacing just the head or glass is typically a faster and lower cost option than swapping the entire assembly.

How do I install a replacement mirror or mirror arm on my 4700?

Installation generally involves removing the old mirror by disconnecting any wiring for heated or powered features, unbolting the mounting bracket from the cab or door, and securing the new mirror or arm in place before reconnecting wiring. Basic hand tools are usually sufficient, but we recommend having a wiring diagram on hand if your mirror includes electrical connections.

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

Mirror housings and arms are commonly available in chrome, black, or primer finishes to match your truck's exterior or allow for custom painting. Glass options typically include standard flat mirrors as well as convex or heated glass for improved visibility. Choosing a finish that matches your existing hardware helps maintain a consistent look on the cab.
