GoWesty offers a set of Heavy Duty LT Series Truck Mirrors. You have to purchase them separately.
Tired of your mirrors flopping around in the wind? Here is the solution. This commercial style mirror was installed on some European Vanagons, and the larger heavy duty LT series trucks. The mirror body is supported by a stout powder coated steel frame that mounts in two places on the door. This fully adjustable non-electric mirror withstands highway speeds, and can be folded flat against the vehicle for storage, tight trails, or parking garages. Installation requires drilling three holes in the upper door frame. Genuine OEM VW – Germany.

Bus Depot offers a pair of Heavy Duty Rear View Mirrors.
These are very popular with Syncro owners but actually fit all Vanagons. They are OEM production and were a factory option in Europe. They use the existing holes in your door, but you will also have to drill 3 holes for the upper mount. These are serious mirrors, with durable powder coated steel frames and convex glass. Besides providing improved visibility and a rugged look, they don’t flop like the original mirrors and fold flat when needed.
