I need 2 parts for the inside of the side mirror of a 2006 Cadillac STS. They help move the mirror and are located between the motor and the mirror. (I have pictures). Have you any idea where I can find them? Thanks.

You give a lot of talk but no help! You were asked about WHERE to buy the PARTS but have not responded. The original Ford/Mercury outside power mirrors quit working when the little plastic threaded ball studs that connect the mirror glass to the motors either break or slip. These dinky little parts should be able to be purchased for about $2.00 each. But it seems the location to procure them is FORD TOP SECRET, allowing the car owner to buy a new mirror for anywhere from $50.00 – $200.00. I thought gouging was a crime, but I guess not when it comes to the Auto industry. So if you REALLY want to help in the power mirror area, locate and post the name(s) of where these minor parts can be bought. I positively know they were made, because I have 6 of the mirrors with those parts in them (in various forms of breakage and deterioration). If somebody made them once, tey can make them again.

I have a 2001 Ford Expedition, there are little white clips that hold the side glass to the power mirror to make the mirror actuate in different directions. i was wondering if you know of any where i can get replacement parts?

I am building a Porsche 356 convertible D. I have the GT style mirrors that are adjustable by hand (if one has an 8 foot arm) I am interested in the switch, wiring harness, and motors ( approximately 2.5″x 3.5″). Any clues as to availability?

Thanks,GG
