Exterior mirrors
#1

Hello everyone, I have an 06 Coach 776. My exterior chrome mirrors are starting to break down. I’m looking for replacement but they come out of Spain and I have left several messages with them and got no response. Has anyone ever changed out exterior mirrors before? Could I use the hanging mirrors that Newell uses now with a little body work and paint? Thank you, Mike

Morning Mike, did you call Newell? I'm heading that direction first of the week if you need pictures or something to pick up and ship.

During the late 90s and into the 2000’s Newell used Ramco Engineering mirrors.  I upgraded 653 to new style Ramco mirrors.   (One got knocked off by a fire truck….but that is a different story).  Newell used to keep them in stock, but its been a few years since I checked.

It looks like Ramco may be getting out of the mirror business.  They are nice people, so I would call them and see what your options are.

I would not do the hang down style mirrors.  Folks that have them say they vibrate and move around a lot while driving.  I agree they look good, but mirrors are about functionality to me.

For what it’s worth.

Thank you Carthan, for getting me in touch with Sofia. Mirrors are ordered 3 to 4 week manufacture and delivery date. I’m good with that. The total including delivery rate, out the door: $1589.85. That’s the black, heated, electric 12v.???

Love my updated Ramco's!  I think one other disadvantage I've heard of on the hanging type is that unless you have the 3 camera setup I believe you can't use your front shade heading into the sun as you lose being able to see the passenger mirror?

Is the $1600 for the black ones like they used 2012-2017? Does it require any body modifications? I like them because they are wider. Might be worth switching.
