I expect delivery soon. I have been searching for an instructional video, but no results so far. It should be easy but I don't want to damage anything.

I am anxious to hear about install results. I am very interested in getting these mirrors for us and for our son's R1S.

Received last night and installed this morning. Here's my write-up:

TL;DR...

Install
  • No instructions included; no instructional video found specific to Rivian; had to figure it out
  • Removal of OEM mirror was a bit tricky. First mirror took about 45 min; second took about 10 once I figured out the best way to go about it
  • Installation of the new mirror was straightforward. Plug-in and snap into place.
Thoughts
  • There is a fragile 3d printed retainer clip for the main electrical connector. One was broken upon arrival. The other was not, but I didn't trust the durability. I ended up removing both and routed / taped the wires myself.
  • Overall field of view improved - more so on driver side; less so on passenger side. Was hoping for a little more out of these.

Check out the write-up. Hope this helps someone!

Oh wow, that's tough. I decided to order two of the 90-degree picks. So I'll wait for a while to get it done. I might only install the driver side since the right mirror doesn't seem to improve anything. Your thoughts
