Broken mirror, what to do?
Broken mirror, what to do?
Okay so I finally got my new mirrors put on. They look a lot better and they have extra surface area too. However I have a couple problems. Problem 1 is that the passenger mirror has a crack in the glass. Don't know if they came that way or if it was my fault,too late for it too matter. Is there anywhere I can buy JUST the glass, cheap? Problem 2 is that I don't know what color/where the driver side blinker wire is. I found the passenger one but not the driver... Any help?
First thing... you really need to be careful on where you get the glass. There are some places that offer a OEM replacement, but the optics are horrible. I've seen that replacement mirrors and glasses.
I would highly recommend going to a junk yard and finding a beat up NBS F150 and take it from that... or else buy a new mirror, and CAREFULLY remove the glass somehow.
I broke a mirror while being ticked off with my ESCAPE by punching it, and I went online and I could have gotten a Ford mirror for $80... but I went with a generic, not thinking it would really much matter... yah, right. I was fooled. The glass in the generic one was like crap. I don't think it was real glass either. Who knows...
Ahh, all the fun times with the ESCAPE... God did I hate that hideous thing.

yeah that's what I was thinking about.. Does anyone know of a legit place to buy the mirror? I know the glass comes out because you can buy the muth (sp) signal mirrors and swap them out.
