I'm on my 3rd dang new mirror purchase and they're all junk! Where do I get a good OE rear view Day/Night mirror for the windshield?

I'd really like to have a stock one.

Thanks in advance!

I reckon if you want an OEM GM mirror you'll need to go to 'that auction site' and search

Any site suggestions would be appreciated. I haven't been super happy with eBay either.

I forget what I got, but if you search for rear view with my name, I'm sure you'd come up with something.

Maybe it's time to upgrade to a 'Smart' rearview mirror ?

The digital mirrors are super neat, but trying to stay OE with the mirror. Trust me I thought about a Gentex upgrade for the truck, but this truck is bare bones heater only and no A-pillar trim or headliner to hide the wiring.

Junkyard. Lots of GM vehicles use that style. Bring yours for matching.
