I came out of the store yesterday only to find that someone knocked my side view mirror off of my car, so it is just dangling by the wires. I called ford to see how much the parts were going to cost and it will run me about $140 not including the painting. My question is, to avoid having to pay for them to paint the mirror housing to match the car color, is there a way to take the painted portion of my original mirror and put it on the new one? If not, I welcome any ideas on how to deal with replacing the mirror. Thanks for your help! Nathan
