Looking glass

Mirror motors improve driving safety by making it easier to reposition safety equipment, and you can easily replace them yourself when needed

Moto Mirrors, now manufactured by the Commercial Vehicle Group, rotate the mirror in either direction with the flip of an on-dash switch. This allows the driver to focus the mirror on the rear of the trailer when backing.

Mirror motors can wear out. Replacing one is a do-it-yourself job for a trucker who has used basic tools. The mirror glass can be replaced at the same time.

You’ll need the following tools and parts to complete this job:

1. Parts kit SK-1526. There will be rivets of different lengths in the kit, designed for servicing different mirrors. You may not need them all.
