A couple of years ago, I bought a pair of these mirrors from Bus Depot. I even talked them up in this thread:

Colin, you were right. Crap. Not only is the beading cracking, but I now have staining bleeding through onto the back side of the mirror...rust?

No, this is supposedly the German OEM brand. WW manufactures their own mirrors.
I actually considered buying them (the WW mirror), but everyone spoke so highly of the Hagus mirrors, that I ended up getting them. A shame, as they still look really nice on the chrome side.

No. Wolfsburg West makes their own out of stainless steel. The ones on my buses are two years old and look brand new. I'm very happy with them.chitwnvw wrote:Is that the same mirror Wolfburg West sells?

The ones from Airhead Parts got a pretty good review in this thread. Anyone on here tried them? They seem to be the most expensive among the various options out there but still reasonable if they're good.

I have th Hagus on my bus. 1 side, about 5 years seal all cracked but everything else ok. Other side, 1 year beginning to crack...
It seems all that is necessary is a better quality SEAL. Probably cost a nickel though.
