zombiechad Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 I upgraded to the large mirrors and no longer need these. They are in great condition. $100obo. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beta Don Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Is there a thread here somewhere on your mirror upgrade? I looked back a couple years and didn't find one. What mirrors did you use and where did you get them? This sounds like something I might want to do! Thanks! Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double Nickels Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 I believe there are larger mirrors available. Like the mirrors on larger trucks and vans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, obviously . . . . I think we all knew that - But which ones are a factory fit for the Gen 2 TC?? Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrtn Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Factory fit would be these: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double Nickels Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 The large mirror looks like a European Market part. I don't see them in The United States.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zombiechad Posted July 31, 2019 Author Share Posted July 31, 2019 They are relatively common in the US. Look for used ones here: www.car-part.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhotoAl Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 I have them on my 2016 TC Titanium - mine even flow back when it is locked. I love to park next to a Mercedes and have my mirrors folded back :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zalienz Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 I have the larger mirrors on my 2017. They could only be had if you purchase the tow package. Love the larger mirrors, much safer, but added some wind noise due to the larger size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waloupis Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 Sorry to jump in here, but.... Shoutout to a GREAT seller. I recently purchased other parts from zombiechad and he's an A+++++ member.

As I drive around and see other Transit Connects, which are everywhere and mostly commercial versions, I haven't noticed one with the larger mirrors yet. Now I'm thinking that I want a set. Just have to frame into my mind, what I need to do to install. Remove door panel. Remove a coupold of bolts. Will harness plug and play? Total work time for both doors. I just wish there was a pop off trim piece to access the mirrors, as opposed to removing the entire door panel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrtn Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 I don't think you need to remove the door panel. Not 100% sure tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zalienz Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 You do need to remove the interior door trim panel. Then 3 bolts, an electrical connector and rubber grommet. 2 clips on the mirror side need to be disengaged by pulling the mirror assembly straight from the door. Should be pretty easy. Electrically the wiring diagram shows with or without door modules, so I'm not sure if it's plug and play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrm223 Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 I bought a used 'large' driver side one from Ebay last week for $100. I still need to find a passenger side for cheap-ish now, too. Then comes the mess of how to get that door panel off, since I haven't looked it over yet as far as how to remove it. Any large mirrors listed as new for $185, I would be very wary of, they sound like the cheap aftermarket knock-offs instead of OEM. The real OEM ones are going for over $300/ea without the plastic cap (sold separately as base black or paintable), so it's usually $400+ total per side for OEM new.

Look for used ones here: www.car-part.com Just be very careful buying from those wrecking yards on Car-Part - make sure to see actual pictures before buying. I was looking through there just yesterday and a ton of "large" mirrors were actually small ones, if they had any pictures at all! Personally, I think I'll be sticking to Ebay to get the other side (I ordered a driver-side already). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just ordered a passenger side large mirror off Ebay. A little more than I wanted to spend, but at least I'll be able to do this upgrade in a week or two after they both arrive.
