- 2008 Mountaineer
Don't get me wrong, I love my 2008 Mountaineer, but come on. I opened the driver's side vanity mirror for maybe the second or third time since I've owned the truck and it broke! One of the hinges just crumbled into pieces. And I didn't and don't flip it up. I gently opened it.
And here's the worst part. I looked all over the Internet and it looks like you can't just buy the door/cover, you have to buy the whole visor at $75-$80.
Now, it's covered under warranty, I hope, but the pain and aggravation of having to take it in just for the Ford boys to say, yeah, it needs to be replaced, but we don’t have that part in stock. Then, I have to take it back again for them to replace it. The gas and time for such a stupid thing is unforgivable.
Anyone know if someone makes an after-market replacement? I can see this happening three or four more times after the truck is out of warranty, because I keep my cars for 10 or more years.
