Another truck got too close to me and clipped my mirror. I believe my only option is to replace the whole unit. Looks like over $800 at the stealership. Hoping someone here might have better news for me?

 

Do you not want to claim it on insurance Rod?

 

Insurance or a junk yard perhaps.

As long as the mirror works ok, might be cheaper than your deductible to buy the parts and install them yourself. Might fine it a little cheaper on eBay with free shipping and no tax.

 

These can be found on EBay too. I thought that a new mirror at the dealership was more than a thousand.

Plenty of online Ford dealers selling parts at a discount. When I was not paying attention and broke my mirror on my 2007, F150, I replaced it myself. Found a video online. Easy enough to do.

Although you can find these used, this is an item that seems to wear. I would replace with new, but that's me.

Thanks everyone. Since I have a camping trip coming up soon I didn't want to wait for online delivery and went to the local stealership. I was lucky enough that they had one in stock. $154. Snapped right in and back in business. I know I could've found one online cheaper but I needed it ASAP. towing a 34 foot fiver without drivers side mirror for 400 miles would suck.

 

Glad you got it fixed. That certainly cheaper than a whole new mirror assembly.
