Key Features

• Direct Fit Compatibility: Designed to match factory-equipped mirrors on 2003-07 Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana vans for a straightforward swap without modification.
• Pre-assembled Snap On Attachment: The snap-on attachment type saves time and lets the replacement seat securely into the mirror housing with minimal effort.
• Clear Optical Glass: Clear glass gives good visibility and replicates the original field of view expected from the OEM glass.
• Materials and Durability: Constructed with a plastic backing and quality mirror glass to provide a durable replacement that resists everyday wear.
• Maintains Electrical Features: Compatible with factory mirrors that have lights and defrost, so those functions continue to work after installation.

Who It's For

This mirror glass is ideal for owners and fleet managers of 2003-07 Chevrolet Express 1500/2500/3500 and GMC Savana 1500/2500/3500 vans who want a cost conscious, easy to install replacement that restores original mirror function.
