I'm not near you, but I got my new one from Wal-Mart. It is an exact match to the one I had on my stang. The same maker and everything. I took an old fork and modified it to get the original Ford clip loose from the window mount rather than buying the special tool. I can't say for sure, but I think it was like $12 instead of the $25 that the people in magazines are charging to order one. The mirror mount kit from Wal-Mart also works nice too. All you have to do is clean the area and crack the vial so that the glue mixes and stick it to the glass. Good Luck

wal-mart sells a ford mirror? are you sure the one you had wasnt already replaced with an aftermarket one? well i guess its worth a try. thanks guys.

I didn't say that Wal-Mart sold a "Ford" mirror. No where on my original rear view mirror does it say ford, but it does have the brand name "Donnelly", which is the exact same brand that the original mirror was. The only difference was that the old one used the Ford clip and the new one uses a phillips head set screw. I have had my car since day one that it came off the lot so I know that no one has ever changed it before. I changed mine because the mirror itself was getting spots on it that weren't clear, but hazed. Mostly where you touch it when you reposition the mirror. Unless you are trying to be concours correct at a MCA show, the mirror will work just fine and look the same for less $$$$. Let us know what you find.
