Broken Drivers Side Mirror

I was having a drink with a lady friend at a local pub last night. 10 minutes before I left - someone came into the bar asking if anyone owned a black mustang that was parked out front. Well, this mustang was mine. My car was parked on the side of a main road - which I have done countless amounts of time.

Well - he said he was smoking a cig and a car was driving by and took my mirror off with their mirror. I go outside - and sure enough the glass from the mirror was ripped off, the plastic housing around the motor was broken and I think the motor might be damaged. Luckily - no body scratches occured during this. The bastard who did the damage never stopped to man up to what they did

Since this happend- I will most likely go to the agent 47 mirrors rather than buying a factory replacement.

Question - if I purchase these - will I need to purchase a motor as well or do the agent 47's come with their own motor?

If the motor is damaged, you will need to get a new one as the A47 mirrors do not come with motors. Funny, half way through, I was thinking about telling you to get the A47 mirrors. Sucks that your mirror got knocked off, but now you can justify better ones.

I will have to look at the motor a little more - does anyone have a pic of what the motor alone looks like? I dont see really any damage - but I want to confirm.

Also - does anyone know where I can get a motor online if need be?

Sorry to hear of your trouble. You can get one at http://www.ford-parts.com . It will cost about $89 with shipping. I replaced my passenger side mirror that got broke off. It is an easy repair.

Sucks that these cars don't have foldable mirrors. That could have easily prevented stories like yours man.

Only if you remember to fold them, of course (which 99.9% of people don't)

My car isn't a truck, foldable mirrors dont' belong on a cars.

If your motor is ok I have a housing and mirror I'll give you. Just let me know.

I think the motor is shot A lot of cracked off plastic. Thanks for the offer though, I appreciate it.

What are other options out there for replacement mirrors? I am not a big fan of the agent 47's.

My father does autobody for a living and ordered an aftermarket mirror for my car, cheap.

It should arrive this afternoon. Ill let you you know how it goes.

I just installed my new replacement aftermarket mirror. Cost 45 bucks and fit like a charm.

They do on every single car in Europe by law. The Mustang's mirrors are a real PITA when you need to get the car in our tiny garages. Corvette mirrors fold too!
