Mirror swap gone bad?
So I picked up some TT mirrors and went through all the steps to remove the old paddle style ones. WTF?!? The ones I bought do not fit? I was not aware of fitment issues before buying these. I have an 02 F250SD. The studs on the new mirrors are not even close to the locations of my stock mirrors. Anybody know what can be done here?

Arrow Errrr . . . .
Your first clue might have been the cover exterior shield was no where near close to the same layout as the TT mirrors. Just taking of the interior cover would have confirmed the mismatch.

Good luck . . .

I have a suspicion that those are *E*250 towing mirrors. Thus the narrower profile to the exterior shield.

Right on, Brother. I went back to the fella I bought them from and got my $$ back. Then I went to the dealership and paid $460 to have it done. What a PITA.

Here is the WRONG part #:

Red face $ to burn . . .
They are on ebay all the time for a lot less than that. But I hope you are happy now.

I knew there was a problem with that since those mirrors should be interchangeble. Glad you got it resolved.

I see the TT mirrors on alot of E250 vans here and thought they would be the same. Now we know that they aren't.
