Truck-Lite 97812 6x16-Inch Silver Stainless Steel West Coast Mirror Head (Box Style Flat Glass Assembly, Replaces Signal-Stat Hardware, Crosses with Grote 16023)

Eliminate dangerous blind spots and conquer freezing winter conditions with the commercial-grade engineering of the Truck-Lite 97812 6 x 16-Inch West Coast Mirror Head. Developed as a high-strength, premium visibility replacement for Class 6, 7, and 8 over-the-road semi-trucks, vocational dumps, flatbeds, and heavy-duty logistics fleets, this large box-style flat mirror provides a true-view, completely undistorted line of sight. By ensuring drivers maintain an accurate perception of trailing vehicle distances and wide-load clearances, this assembly is an essential update to satisfy strict FMVSS 111 commercial rearview safety visibility standards.

The structural architecture of the 97812 sets it apart from lower-tier alternatives. It features heavy-duty silvered flat glass cushioned within a protective, shock-absorbing vinyl perimeter gasket. This specialized assembly style protects the glass plate against severe chassis vibrations and road shock, preventing edge peeling, fracturing, and internal silvering breakdown. Furthermore, the unit is engineered with integrated wide stainless steel end caps that provide superior physical reinforcement and wind deflection compared to standard imported plastic end caps.

Designed for standard fleet service compatibility, the 97812 uses a heavy-duty "rod-thru" style head configuration with a 5/16"-18 threaded rod mount connector layout that integrates smoothly onto a West Coast rigid bracket framework. It functions as an immediate, exact-fit direct field replacement for legacy commercial hardware profiles, providing fleets with a seamless way to replace damaged heads without changing out the main bracket arms.
