Or Manuals are for people with abnormally long arms so they can adjust the passenger’s side while driving… not to mention my Passenger’s side Mirror NEVER stays in one place.
AND if you had elect mirrors off-road and you needed to see what was on the passenger side of the vehicle while going over a rock or two or backing up then the electrics would be the best and easiest way to go BOTH for Streeties and Off-Roading.

How soon do you need the mirrors ?

Snowing here in the N.E. and everything is dependent on the weather and temp.

No hurry really. I would like them as soon as I can get them as soon a I can but no rush

The inside of the mirror has to be able to mount this style glass so 2001.5 - 2005 should all match

When I get the snow cleared away I will be headed to a local JY and see what is available.

2001.5-2005 just Rangers or are the Explorers the same ?

Most of the Ex mirror is the same but the triangular mount is a different shape and won't fit the Ranger door.

Sorry no Rangers w/pwrd mirrors.
A few Explorers and Mountaineers.

I have a set of Ex Mirrors with Puddle Lights and a broken drivers-side glass but I think I promised them to someone if I didn’t use them.
I need to wait and review my messages and if I didn’t promise them and they work for you then we can determine a course of action.

10-4 any chance you can peek and see what the back of the mirror glass looks like?
