Or, you can just learn to live with it. My Astro( and previous vehicles) had single piece mirrors, but when I got my '16 Express, I had to adapt. At just under 4 months, it's second nature.
Change is difficult.

For anybody else who is thinking about these mirrors, the ad says 03-07 Express/Savana, that was when they were single pane mirror. All 08-17 have split two-piece mirrors, but the housings are all the same. So they are interchangeable like Artie1 said.

I have trouble seeing with bifocals. Anyway, don't have them split view jobs but since I had constant 12 volt power in the compartment that houses my useless 5 inch B & W tv I got a rear view mirror out of an S-10 Blazer that has map lights. Got it wired up. It's a handy luxury to have.

I wanted to bump this thread up to the present.
I have my after market mirrors but I dont have a power mirror switch yet.
I have read that you cannot just buy the switch, but need to buy the power window and mirror one as a unit. also getting that little plastic piece of trim that the switch fits into is a bear.
Lastly, there is a spot to plug the mirror into on my vans door, but there is no wire and plug that goes to the switch itself, unless its buried and taped up inside the door.
Has anyone done this conversion from manual mirrors to power heated and have to advice and or pics to share?
Thanks
