Where to get a rear view mirror for ford focus?

maameeo

Hi guys!

My rear view mirror broke, the piece the slides into the window piece is broke on one side, mirror itself is fine.

Anyone know if its possible to buy that little piece or am i better off buying the whole unit?
and where to get one for a ford focus 00 car?
I found one on ebay but it was 15 sterling with something ridiculous like 10 sterling delivery!
I've googled car parts places in dublin/ireland but no joy.

Ive seen the suction and stick on ones in halfords but i read that they were not very reliable, anyone ever used them?

Cheers in advance for the advice

Have you tried a Ford dealer?

I havnt no, i live on the northside and work in Dun Laoghaire so im gone from before 8 and not back till after half 6. garages are closed so i didnt see the point in ringing one that i know i wouldnt be able to go get. plus i cant drive without it.

In that case i'd just pay €30 for one off eBay.

many ford dealers parts depts are open on a saturday or will leave a part for collection with a salesperson if its already been paid for (ie by credit card)
you could also try irishdismantlers.ie to locate a second hand one

if you work in dun laoghaire go down to southside on the west peir its a scrap yard and he useually has a good few bits u might have to get the whole mirror piece but i reckon it will be cheaper then the part on ebay plus no waiting!!
