Hi all,
I have a 1997 Blazer 4.3 LT 4WD and recently smacked up my passenger side mirror. I hope to replace it myself, although looking at it I get the feeling its like a rubix cube or something (where are the screws?!). In any case, I went online to search for the part and found two listed on this site:
http://www2.partstrain.com/store/?Ntt=mirror&N=1588%2B9866%2B4294967269&submit_search.x=0&submit_search.y=0 That''s about all I found.
You can see that the parts site offers two different makes of side mirror. One is by KOOLVIEW and the other by CIPA. The CIPA is more expensive, but both would work.
Does anyone have any experience with A) replacement mirrors, especially these makes? and B) replacing a passenger side mirror?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Either one looks good but neither has heated mirrors, (or at least they don''t mention it) or does the ''97 not have heating as standard?

I dont think 95-97 had the heated mirror option, but anyways either one looks the same from the outside but the more expensive ones appear to have different mirror glass in them.

The curved glass should give a better field of vision but the curve could also give a slight distortion of what''s behind.
