How does this mirror assembly fit my specific Freightliner Cascadia?

This assembly is engineered for compatibility with Freightliner Cascadia model years 2008 through 2017. It follows the original OE reference numbers so installers can verify fitment before purchase. The design mirrors the factory mounting geometry to be a direct replacement for the hood mirror glass and backplate.

• Compatible model years: 2008–2017 Freightliner Cascadia
• OE numbers matched: 955-5206, 28729C, TL28729
• Direct-fit backplate aligns with factory mounting points
• Check arm and mounting hardware compatibility before buying

What comes in the box and what do I need to install it?

The package includes the mirror glass, a black ABS backplate, double-sided tape and four mounting accessories so most installations are completed with only common tools. The mounting arm from your original assembly is reused—this product does not include the arm itself. If your existing backplate is intact, you can opt to replace only the glass and keep the supplied backplate as a spare.

• Included: 1 mirror glass, 1 black backplate, 1 double-sided tape strip, 4 mounting accessories
• Not included: mounting arm (reuse original arm)
• Installation requires removing the damaged glass and adhering or bolting the new backplate
• No drilling or modification needed for direct replacement

How does the convex design improve driving visibility and safety?

The convex, wide-angle construction expands the mirror’s field of view so you can better monitor adjacent lanes and near-front blind spots. This increased coverage helps drivers of heavy trucks make safer lane changes and maneuvers by revealing vehicles and obstacles that a flat mirror may miss. The mirror glass is manufactured to resist everyday road and weather exposure.

• Wide-angle convex surface increases peripheral visibility
• Tempered mirror glass resists cracking and distortion
• ABS backplate built for weather and vibration resistance
• Maintains clearer view in heavy-duty operating conditions

How difficult is the installation for a fleet technician or DIY owner?

Installation is straightforward for technicians and experienced DIYers: remove the damaged glass, attach the supplied backplate and then secure the mirror glass using the included tape and hardware. Because the backplate and glass are separate, you avoid applying excessive force to the new glass during mounting, reducing risk of breakage. No special tools or body modifications are required when replacing a like-for-like assembly.

• Stepwise install: remove old glass, mount backplate, stick or fasten mirror glass
• Separate backplate minimizes pressure on new mirror during fitment
• No additional drilling or cutting needed for standard installations
• Recommended for shop technicians or experienced truck owners
