Just picked up a 2026 Ford bronco raptor. Yes we are real happy with it….. I recall while I was lurking on this site about six months ago people were replacing their mirrors on the driver’s door and passenger door with either a concave or convex mirror for better rear view I believe. Can someone guide me to that topic. I believe people were changing them so they would have a better rear view image? Are they stick on? Do they completely replaced the factory mirrors? Thank you again for your help, I do appreciate it.

Since when do Californians use their mirrors?
I was in Iowa last Tuesday, Tuesday night i was in Illinois. Wednesday, I was in Indiana and arrived at / to Holly, Michigan. Yesterday I left Michigan, went through Indiana and spent the night in Illinois. This morning (Tuesday) i left Illinois, drove through Iowa and currently spending the night in Grand Island, Nebraska dealing with crazy rain, thunder, lightning, and a tornado watch. Tomorrow morning, Wednesday driving through Nebraska, Colorado, and I’m guessing some of Utah. Thursday morning, going through Utah, Nevada, Arizona, and some part of California. Friday night to Saturday morning I should be back in California. I know you did not ask for any of this, but I’m still giving it to you for the California mirror comment…..lol.

Oh, I deserve every bit of it! I still bet you had no idea what was behind you though, no matter what state you were in! :D

FWIW: I've had the Suma mirrors since a few days after getting my Bronco. They are absolutely great, but I got them before they moved to tinted glass only. I wouldn't want the current tinted ones.

Wolfbox came out with some recently, but there seemed to be some hiccups in production. Worth checking out.

Sumas and Wolfbox. Sumas are expensive. The wolfbox, released last month were quite affordable, but as metntioned there apparently was a glitch in their manufacture. Wolfbox to their creidt was right on top of it and refunded everyone their money. They are reworking and hopefully soon they will be available. They wer eavailable in clear and tinted. Either one is a failrly simple installation though a little fear inspireing. Basically you pry the existing mirror away from its snap in mount, unplug a couple of connectors and reverse the process to install the new ones.
