Agreed! Like most comments online, those who post usually have negative experiences or very positive ones. Those who are just pleased don't comment or review as often. My experience has been positive. Happy to drive mine every single time I get in it!
There is a line between stupid and uninformed. I disagree completely with your assertion that they won't sell. I also think that the dealer doesn't think the mirror is a real issue and that people want tow mirrors, so they order more. I would throw you and I into the ignorant camp, i.e we were...
None of these Rebels were there on the lot 4 months ago when I got mine, so they weren't initial stock and are left over now. These were well after everyone was clear on the two mirror difference (or should have been).
Just did a quick review of every Rebel at my local dealership...90% have the tow package. Many less Limiteds did though. I can't believe why it's such a common add-on. Far less had 33-gal tank or wheel well liners, which are much more useful.
I tried heating it with a hair dryer myself and it wasn't effective enough alone. I had to use something to get the edge up to peel it off. I tried a lot of safe options to avoid scratching the paint but none of them were pointed enough. Finally used a razor to just get the edge moving away from...
Thanks for keeping the pressure on them. Something for early customers from FCA would go a long way to improving morale. Replacing them with standard mirrors and modules for a reasonable price ($500?). They already owe us a credit for the $400 we paid for the "upgrade" as I see it.
If I were to buy a set of tow mirrors that came off a limited that HAD heat (mine does not), what else would I need to do to get the heat to work? I already have tow mirrors that aren't heated. Anyone know if I could just plug them in and be done?
I found an older model Rebel in a parking lot...
@gybob - you already had heated tow mirrors with blind spot and now you have heated, power-folding 6x9 mirrors with blind spot? I understand the Limited tow mirrors have heat whereas for some reason (I am getting mad just typing this) my Rebel tow mirrors are unheated.
Also, please confirm if...
I was trying to figure out the issue, but this kind of explains it for me. The mirrors tilt down in reverse for better street view then return to driving position in P or D? Mine definitely don't do this at all.
They don't understand this isn't an upgrade. One would assume if you are logical that the upgraded mirrors on this package would have the same features as the other mirrors except they would ADD the tow mirror. You would be mistaken and sad to find out you got a larger fish-eye mirror but lost...
Now I am even more pissed off....so much better than the $400 "upgraded" tow mirrors. WTF?
And apparently I can't even add the heated mirrors (but can get everything else) if I pay for an aftermarket solution, which is $1400. I can't even believe this is a thing that can happen.
Obviously a lot of threads about unhappy tow mirror customers. One thing I couldn't find: For the Rebel, I was wondering what those of you who didn't get the trailer tow group have for features on your mirrors.
Do they power fold? Are they heated? I went through all the tow mirrors threads and...
It is so dumb that all the tow mirrors aren't heated. It is dumb that tow mirrors remove 360 and power folding already, but they have to make SOME without heat? Doesn't even make sense.
Completely on board with continuing to pursue this. Some have said this is the buyer's fault, which ultimately is true, but it's just not that simple. I didn't lose 360 as my Rebel doesn't have it, but apparently I lost power fold and heat for a $400 tow package I didn't want. If these were...
I will add my experience to lend to the case that there are more unhappy people than some will let on about this. I would make the assumption that nearly everyone who got the trailer tow group would be unhappy to know they lost heated and folding mirrors to get the tow mirror. Further, upon...
Few answer as I understand it:
1. I don't think you can get the wireless on Rebel at all. It isn't part of the packages, just another add-on like trailer tow group or bed utility group. From what I remember, only certain trims had this option. You could find out for sure by building a Rebel on...
