However, I’m dealing with a 2008 Norge that now has pushing 34K on the clocks. I don’t much care what mirrors are on it, as long as they work for me in traffic. It isn’t pristine or anything. It has some scars. It can be a cantankerous thing when it wants.

Yesterday, after really liking the new mirrors, the LCD screen just up & quit. I pulled over into a random parking lot and shut the ignition off. Key back on, screen was fine. It was fine today too. IDK why. Character maybe. I’ve known characters like that in my life. There one minute gone the next only to show back up unannounced out of the clear blue. 😁

I only posted this tip for any other cheap bastards who don't want to unnecessarily spend their hard earned money on new mirrors.

PJPR01:
The original chrome ones vibrated like crazy.  The black ones, which are a dime a dozen on Ebay are much better quality.  I think I've got 4 lying in a drawer that I bought years ago...for maybe $20-25 each I think.

Scan Ebay and you'll find an endless source of them...cheap enough to still be El Cheapo ready!
