Looks the CVC is for the compact and the CVNG stands for next gen. Definitely must have got a pre-release version by mistake.

Both flat. Definitely bigger than stock.Are they both flat mirrors or is the passenger convex? Takes some getting use to the split mirror with the convex on the bottom.
God Bless You Grumpaw! I pray that all is well with you and your family! ?You have to pull the panel. I have all sorts of tools and tips that will fit that torx, but there's no way to get a good purchase on it without removing the panel. Bolt is in pretty tight, and if the tool end is the slightest bit off center, your gonna strip that torx out.
Sorry.
When you get em on, the "sliding" mechanism is going to be very tight/hard to pull out, and need to be lubed...their web site has info on how to slide the covers off to lube the telescoping mechanism.
I'm going to play with the fuse for the mirrors and their orientation and see if I can get them to sync.
God Bless You Grumpaw! I pray that all is well with you and your family! ? Thank you for your response. I will receive my mirrors tomorrow! I pray that my installation will be easy!? ?Any good brand of what is called Dry Lube. Spray can, sprays on wet but dries very fast. Doesn't attract/keep dust or dirt.
I just want to ask not that you've had them a while, what is your long-term opinion of them? Have you used them extended often?Received a response back from Clearview yesterday - they stated that they had indeed shipped me a pre-release version of the US Compact mirrors. They gave me the option to keep or exchange; I'm opting to keep. They also stated that US store plans on pricing these the same as the NextGen. In the Australian store, the Compact is (very) slightly cheaper.
Anyway, I'm keeping the Compact mirrors as I like them after driving around on them for the weekend.
Love them. They're bigger and they stick out more, so I often don't have to extend them unless I am towing something super wide. Even towing an rpod, I didn't have to extend.I just want to ask not that you've had them a while, what is your long-term opinion of them? Have you used them extended often?
Yup, but if you tow a wide travel trailer, frequently, their worth every cent.975$? Eeeesh.
Awesome, I'm thinking about them, Kinda want a "super compact" option, but these don't look too bad for the functionality they add. For me along with some Lariat wiring and a new Mirror Control Lever switch I'll be adding turn signals, power folding, heated and puddle lamps with the tow mirrors.Love them.

Like tailgate dampers. ?Yup, but if you tow a wide travel trailer, frequently, their worth every cent.
The same "Essssh" could be said for many of the pieces and parts that we install on our Rangers, it's a matter of what's important to the individual.
I really love mine. Best upgrade I have done to the truck, but I do tow a lot.Just went looking at these tonight. Looks like the price has dropped quite a bit as they are now in the mid-500's instead of close to $1000. (So long as you don't have power-folding ones that is)
Giving serious thought to picking up a set before our Disney trip in May.
