I looked high and low to find tow mirrors for my 02 supercrew and could find none so this is what i did. I cant post in the how to forum section so here it is.

Things you will need: dremel, scissors, printer paper, pencil, tape, heat mold able plastic (i used a garbage can), 7/16 deep socket, sand paper or bench grinder, heat gun, tow mirrors for any 97-03 f-150.

step one is to remove you door panel and mirrors. to remove mirrors use the 7/16 socket.





step two is to tape together two pieces of printer paper, trace your mirror base on to them, and cut it out. one side of the paper will be driver and flip it over for the passenger.






step three is to then trace that on to your plastic and cut that out with your dremel.





step four is to then use sand paper or a grinder to smooth out the edges.



you can now set aside the plastic pieces

step 5 is to dremel out the existing mirror holes so the new mirrors will fit.



step six is to tape your plastics where you want them and mark the new holes from the back.





step seven is to dremel or drill out the holes you marked large enough to slide as far down on the mirror bolts as possible.



step seven is to remove the foam from the back of your mirror, place the plastic on then put the foam back on.



step 8 is to put the mirrors and door panels back on.



step nine is the final step. use a heat gun or hair dryer to mold the plastic so that it fits well on the truck.

I hope this helps some of yall out a little. it is not perfect but at least you can see what your hauling!

 

That's pretty dang good! Nice.

 

Picture from the side of final product?

You could always epoxy the layers together and then fiberglass and paint them. Nice idea!



As a side note not the first time I've seen a creative use of a trashcan on this site

 

Thanks took me an hour tops and it looks decent.

 

This is it before the heat gun.

 

i found some tow mirrors that actually fit the 2002 f150 supercrew. they say they only fit a 1998-2002 ford expedition. i found them on ebay.

heres the name of the ad on Ebay.com

Mirror Power Heated Towing Textured Dual Arm Upgrade PAIR for Ford Expedition

 

they fit like a glove and the plug is correct. plug and play

 

1998-2002 ford expedition tow mirrors fit the 2001-2003 supercrew perfectly
