Title: Folding Mirrors
Post by: the_maplebar on January 18, 2006, 01:46:37 PM
I'm looking for some folding mirrors for replacements on my tracker.  My passenger side got pulled out and I'm sure I can fix it, but it's a good excuse to get folding ones which I've always wanted.  The criteria for my ideal replacements are:

Black Plastic (hard to scratch offroad and matches the tracker)
Folding (I've always wanted this)
Powered (My wife is 5'0" and I'm 6'1", it's get's moved a lot ;) )

I don't care about them being heated since I don't have the wiring for it.  Does anyone know for sure if this is available in any model packages?  I know most (all?) of the GV's and XL7 have body color mirrors :(  I already checked with Hawk and he doesn't have any mirrors, plus he thought though all of the Suzuki's were body color.  But I think the early 2 dr Vitara's might work if they are folding.  Here's a pic I found of a 99 Vitara and it looks like the mirrors might be black plastic like I want.

Thought about painting some GV or XL7 mirrors?  Get a nice durable paint on there and you'd have to drag it through the brush pretty good to scratch them up.

I've been thinking a lot lately of folding mirrors as well. Keep us updated if you find a solution,

I've been doing some more searching through pics and forums.  From what I can tell it looks like the base model Vitara's and Tracker's have black non-folding mirrors.  Some of the luxury packages may be body color but still non-folding.

The GV's and XL7's all have folding body color mirrors.  If I can get some folding mirrors cheap from a junk yard I may try painting them, but I took my broken one all of the way off and it is going to be pretty easy to fix so I will be waiting around a while to see if anything pops up on the radar.
