Default Looking for anyone with a successful experience with InPro mirrors

I bought 5146s from eBay but did not fit my auto-dimming/heated symmetrical mirrors in my car. Boston Driver (thanks, BTW) pointed to some links were someone had issues with 5147 not fitting perfectly either.

Has anyone bought these (or other) mirror housings and made them fit on auto-dimming/heated mirrors on a C5 chassis?

I would appreciate any inputs and pictures since I have not found anything definite when searching the AW archives.

They are near perfect replicas of my factory covers. I had zero issues when installing them.

I have heated and self-dimming mirrors (power folding too).

Default could you please provide the OEM P/Ns replaced and what InPro model you installed?

I bought InPro model 5146 because the eBay ad said it would fit C5 models. It seems 5147s also have issues.

I much appreciate your contribution.

Thanks.

Default I am not sure about the model #s on mine but I bought my InPro mirror

coverings off of ebay too and I had no issues getting them on. I did this about two years ago and they still look great.

Great! If the 5147 fit on your car (2000) then they should fit A6TwinTurbo's car!
