exterior mirror trim trouble

[John605]

I have a 2013 Edge Limited and my driver's side mirror got clipped. The only damage was a small piece of the plastic ring (or trim) broke off. The ring must snap into the mirror housing and acts as a cap for the metal edge of the mirror.

 

The dealership told me it does not come separately. The mirror (electric, with blind alert) retails at $500 plus labour and installation. I just want the ring and I can install it myself. I would even contact the supplier if I knew who made them.

 

Ironically, I drive right by the backside of the Oakville, Ontario assembly plant where it was built twice a day on my way to and from work. So close and yet so far...

 

If any fellow Edgers have suggestions I would be appreciative.

 

Thanks

Don't think you can find the part on its own, either you need to get a replacement new housing or get one from a salavage yard.

 

You can get new one for cheaper price than dealer from following.

Since you mentioned you drive by Oakville, you can also try to get price quote from the parts department at White Oak Lincoln Dealership in Mississuga. I was able to get a few replacement parts for my Mkx from them for price almost same as ebay or Tasca parts without hassle of shipping and they even offered to install some of the parts for free or 30 min of labour time.

 

If you decide to try to get it from White Oak Lincoln, email James Larmour (JLarmour@whiteoaklincoln.com) for a price quote as he is the parts department manager and can offer slightly better pricing for parts and install or you can install on your own.
