Dorman 955-1448 Passenger Side Mirror vs Kool Vue Power Door Mirror, Passenger Side

The Kool Vue (B) is the better mirror for most 2007-2013 Silverado and Sierra owners. It adds power folding, heating, an in-glass turn signal and a puddle light, and it comes with a paintable cap to match the truck. The Dorman 955-1448 (A) is a plain black power mirror with a flat lens and no heat, so it fits only if you want the simplest replacement. Owners of both report the plastic housing and glass hold up fine in normal use; the Kool Vue's extra motors and lights are the parts that can fail first.

• Choose the Dorman 955-1448 if you want a basic black power mirror for the passenger side and don't need heat, folding or a turn signal.
• Choose the Kool Vue passenger mirror if you want heated glass, power folding, a signal light and a puddle light, plus a cap you can paint to match.
