Work van mirrors
the web for a mirror that mounts up high on the back drivers side of a van to let you see the bumper when backing up , but haven't found anything .
I have one on the workvan and it's so old I don't see a name on it . I'm looking for one for my custom van - getting out to see how close I am to someones bumper is becoming a drag .
The one on the work van mounts by drilling 3 holes for the mounts - I don't want to do that . Hopefully there is a model that clamps to the rib where the roof meets the side - the rib where the roof racks grab on .
There is a system with a camera and viewscreen , but thats too high tech and way too expensive .
Thanks in advance for any help .

Hey , Ron check out...............

Rain rail on the van probably cant take the stress of a mirror hanging off it like that. american van does have 2 different kinds of rear mounts pod mount may not look too too bad http://www.americanvan.com/catalog/standard_large.cfm?FamilyID=2670 -
Thank you guys
for the American Van website . I checked and they have the exact mirror that's on my workvan . It's a little too utilitarian looking for a custom van , so I'm going to call the custom van makers and see what they got .
Marty , the rain rail supports my roof racks and all the weight on it . I would guess that a 1/2 pound or so mirror wouldn't put too much stress on the custom van rail , hopefully . I'm leery to drill 3 holes into the van .
John , I've been pretty good , how are you doing ? Glad the cold weather is almost finished ?0 -

Rear View
Try something like JC Whitney, they have those new sensors that warn you of the distance to anything behind you __even people etc.__
Have a factory installed one and think its great0
