Power Mirrors

I noticed that some members have reported getting power mirrors on their LD, even though LD does not list this as an official option.
Are the power mirrors the same size as the standard LD mirrors, or are they smaller?  Do you end up trading off reduced visibility for convenience?

While I was at the factory I asked Steve about the power mirrors.
He told me they looked just like the standard ones.  But the price is steep.  I think I remember him saying $750.00 but I think I saw it listed for $600.00 on one of the lists on this site.

Talked w/LD and they were reluctant to add this option, saying LD had added very few power mirrors.  We also visited with local Ford dealer, who was reluctant to add power mirrors. Add-on power mirrors have potential to cause future problems even when installed by trained techs.

 I'm wondering what kinds of problems they could cause. Power mirrors have been standard on many passenger car models for over a decade, and I haven't heard anybody complain about problems with them. My 1995 Honda Accord has them and I've never had the slightest trouble. What's so different about the Velvac power mirrors, I wonder?

I had power mirrors added to two class A's over the years and never had a problem. The wiring is really very simple and the power mirrors themselves are also quite simple.

Suni, we order our MB with electric mirrors because there will be two different sized LD pilots. They are "reluctant" to add them but if they (Ed in our case) understand that you REALLY want/need'em, no problem.

 got me.  they're clear as a bell and i've certainly had no problems with them.  we added K-10 convex mirrors to each side as well.  all works like a charm. what modern vehicle wouldn't have power mirrors, what possible 'downside' could there be?
