this bump on a log guy here worked for ford, mazda, yamaha, brp, husqvarna etc... At the dealership our hands are tied on lots of parts that you think would come separate from the assembly but the manufacturer does not sell or offer them that way.. so yes that is where the aftermarket comes in and does on occassion sell certain parts that you can not buy from a dealer.. Even working at dealerships I am constantly searching the aftermarket and the web for parts that I know I don't need the complete assemblies for..

Tasca is not aftermarket and they had the mirror glass....If you are a good parts guy then you shouldn't be offended if you are a bump on a log then I can see why you didn't like my comment...I just get sick of having to give the parts guys the part numbers for what I need when they tell me a particular part is the same between a sports package/non sports package car.

Have been through that with my Honda's, Mustangs, Infiniti...Most people don't pay attention to detail so it makes my life difficult.

All I was saying is ALOT of the time you can't order certain parts separate.. I see Tasca is a owner of many dealerships and allows you to look up your own parts.. that does make life alot easier for certain things especially if it is an over the phone parts order.. plus not having a vin to eliminate all the odd parts choices helps also.. I am not defending parts departments nor saying your wrong.. I have worked with alotta lazy parts guys where if it doesn't jump right out at you on the screen then the answer is simply.. "nope not available" I run a parts department now of 4 people and it chaps my ass when I see one of them say CAN'T within 30 seconds and then point out after the fact that the part was right there in front of them!

Looks like tascaparts has the mirror glass for $120+ shipping

THANK YOU!!! Ive been searching and all I'm finding is full assembly (dealerships) or donors that I cant find at all or the part is already gone. I also did not mention that he had the mirror on screen but he said it was for base models so i am assuming no blind spot, extra stuff.

I wouldn't blame ford I would blame all the go go gadget s*** that we like on our cars....actually sounds cheap to me...like said above considering heated, power,auto dimming,courtesy light,blind spot warning,and break away folding....is not ur dodge omni style mirror anymore

I agree that yes its not "ur dodge omni style mirror" but the internal part and "go go gadget s***" is completely fine and functioning, the issue is why is FORD not the individual dealership or store if you will only allowing dealerships to sell full assembly when the other parts are available individually from other vendors. I gave the parts guy my last 6 or 8 of my vin it came up as full assembly because of the extras yet the base without the extras is available to be purchased (just the glass) the actually assembly is the same of both mirrors but the only difference is the glass and connections sooo yes i blame ford because 1. Ford is only allowing there parts guys to sell full assembly for specific trims and 2. Ford and all big company don't care about the little guys and just want the $$$$

I bought the last NOS Omni Mirros I could find online for my 86 GLHS, they weren'[t cheap either.

I backed my XSport out of a tight packing spot next to a concrete pillar late one night when I was too tired and busted it up pretty badly. Intergral turn signal survived as did the base but the change angle motor, vanity outer surround and the glass didn't.  I was in about $330. after all was said and done.
