Thanks, David After I did this, it was mentioned that you can fish the wiring out of the intact OEM mirror housing. Let me know when you pull the trigger, I can help with the install if need be

hey guys, i've been busy today putting these new mirrors on - i'm quite stoked . But I ran into a snag - I got the passenger side on pretty well but when I started on the drivers side and tried to pull the mirror out of the stock housing, I ended up tearing the motor into 2 pieces! I know, I know, every walk-through says 'firm but gentle' and I didn't pull any harder than the passenger side but the mirrors came off with the front/face of the motor still snapped/connected to the back of the mirror. I can see that the part of the motor face that's actuated by the electrical motor is torn off and seems beyond repair. I was able to shove the face of the motor back onto the main motor body and adjust the mirror manually since I was able to get the threaded plastic studs (connected to the face of the motor) back into their proper holes on the main body of the motor (this seems to be what allows you to manally 'snap' your motor incrementally up/down left/right without using the side view mirror adjusters from inside the car on the driver's side.

I'll try to post pics in a bit of the 'situation' but i'm pretty sure the mirror motor is beyond repair. I'm planning to call a nearby Ford dealership up on Monday and see if I can buy a new mirror motor - what I need help with:

Does anyone know the part # for the (driver's side, if it helps) mirror motor itself so that I can just fitscrew it into the mirror housing? Do you guys know how much that would set me back?

Thanks for any help in advance guys - it'd definately be really appreciated!

Ok - I managed to find the part number. In case anyone's interested or runs into the same situation as me:

Part: Door Mirror Drive Motor (same for either driver or passenger side)
Part #: 17D696

Found it off Ford Parts | Buy Parts for Ford, Lincoln & Mercury Cars & Trucks | FordParts.com (under Category: Body / Sub-Category: Mirrors) and listed for $36.80.

I just ordered the Agent 47s for my '007 GT from southernmustangparts for $219 + free shipping which is the lowest total price I have found anywhere online. Thanks Ken.

I have seen these mirrors where the pod (or whatever its called) is painted body color and the triangle and stem are left black. It looks real nice that way. Definitely not like the ugly 2-tone mirrors I have seen on older mustangs either.

IMO if you paint that triangle piece body color it sticks out like a sore thumb - really draws the eye to it whereas if its left black it blends in with the window and weather stripping.

My mitsubishi Eclipse GT came with sport mirrors from the factory (did not have to go out and buy them like with ford) and they are gloss black on a dark red car and it looks pretty nice and you don't notice that big triangle.

I appears to me that Klaw's '007 Vista Blue ride has had the black plastic window trim piece painted body color so on his ride the triangle doesn't stand out quite so much.

I am going to paint mine with either just the pod body color or the whole thing gloss black on my '007 Vista Blue Mustang GT.

Just my 2 cents worth but unless you like the BIG TRIANGLE look on your ride its something to consider before painting the whole thing body color.

I ordered these yesterday, Nate took my order and was very nice to talk to, I gave him the coupon code Ken provided and I only paid 189.00 for these sweet mirrors, after the order was placed I received an email 2 seconds after Nate said "ok, your order has been completed" In that email it said thank you for your order and all, and it said I was charged 209.00 (which Nate said it would, but assured me I would only be charged 189.00) and within the hour I received an email from Ken thanking me for my business and just to let me know I was only charged 189.00 for the mirrors and that they would be shipped out Monday and I will be emailed the tracking #.

My point to all that is: Communication is key to me (amongst other things) And purchasing from SouthernMustangParts has been a very pleasurable experience (Great customer service, great communication, great price, great products and lastly shipping, I am sure their shipping will be great as well) Thank you Nate and Ken!!

I will be using Kooldawg6's instructions to install these and I am sure it will be a piece of cake, Thank you too Kooldawg6 for these awesome instructions!!

Since they were essentially the same, both "Tech Threads" have been merged.

They did arrive Friday I installed these Saturday, as easy as pie to install, the hardest part was pulling the glass off the stock mirror (the first one) I started off by gently pulling and I could not get the glass off, so I decided to pull a little harder and it pulled right off, the second glass came right off with a little more than a gentle tug as well, I had no problems removing the wire harness from the stock mirror, was a little difficult pulling the grommet thru, but the entire process was very easy and took me exactly 1 hour, and that was taking my time.

The difference in size is substantial, the A47 mirrors are soooooooooooo much nicer looking than the stock F-150 mirrors, as far as losing vision, there is some, but nothing to worry about IMO, The A47s are just as practical as the stockers.

Thank you again Ken, Nate and SouthernMustangParts

Glad you like them!!!

Enjoy

Still have these at a pretty nice price if anyone else is in the market to swap out their stock mirrors.

Just use coupon code stangnet91 at checkout for the additional savings.
