2004 Focus door mirror

#1

Someone broke the glass part of my son's door mirror. The exterior housing
seems to be OK but the plastic section which holds the glass was lying
beside the car with the glass cracked.

Can this section be got as a replacement part? Does it just clip back into
the housing?

Thanks

I believe the answer is yes to both, but a better place to ask might be
alt.autos.ford.focus.

Thanks. I did try in the other group but it's quite US orientated and some
parts are different although similar. I'll check with Ford tomorrow morning.

Buy sticky on mirror at motor factors. Get all of the old mirror out of the
plastic bit. Stick new mirror into plastic. Good as new.

The plastic's normally held on by a few ball joints. If these aren't
sprained open, it'll work fine.

And ford will only sell you a wing mirror as an entire unit at a guess, or
at a silly price.

Checked with Ford today. Mirror housing is fine. A replacement glass (which
includes plastic bit to slot into housing) is £13.26. With 10% discount card
it's around £12 - better than the hassle of sticky on mirror imho.
