Here is a shot of the front wheel without skirt.

The front rubber fender skirts do have a tendency to reduce the amount of muck thrown up on an MCI and pre-Buffalo GMC driver's exterior mirror when running in the rain. No real effect on an Eagle or Buffalo, due to mirror placement.

OTOH, pulling into a steep driveway ramp at full lock can quickly split one.

   Buffalo have mirrors in same place as pre buffalo.

Chessie -

IBME that the different shape of the OEM mirror arm and mirror head of a Buffalo somehow didn't get as mucked up as the older GM hiway models did when running in the rain. (Let alone an MCI 7, 8 or 9!)

Dunno why, perhaps due to a different airflow pattern around them?  Perhaps because the driver sits lower in a Buffalo, thus the mirrors are lower, thus changing the way front wheel muck is thrown at them?  Perhaps because of the larger rubber fender skirts on a Buffalo's front wheels?  I just don't know.

But I do remember not having to reach thru the toll window to wipe them off as often as I did for the others.
