| I purchased a 2000 gmc sierra 1500 2wd ext cab pickup and took delivery about 12-23-1999. i requested camper mirrors and the pasenger side came with regular glass, which makes it impossible to see in the blind spots . gm would not do anything about it even though later the newer models came with a small convex mirror in the unit. the replacement for the truck now calls for the convex mirror but gm insists that the one i got was ok. what does it take to get gm to correct this problem? *ak | |||

| I was driving at a speed of 60 mph with all windows shut and my air condition on when my drivers side ext-cab window just blew right out of the truck. the latch that holds the window shut hit one of the kids in the hand and ended up in the passenger side pocket. the window hit the side of the truck then ended up shattering in the middle of the road with traffic trying to avoid the broken glass and me pulling of to the side of the road wondering what happend. that could have caused a major accident, and the latch could have caused serious injury to a child if hit in the face. thanks jeff. *ak | |||
