To find the part # look under the bottom mirror like this....If your lucky it will still be there,mine wasn't but with the help of Ryder and guys at Velvac we figured it out,good luck.

This post shows how to replace the mirror.

Unless y'all have completely different mirrors, Velvac mirrors have been side specific for at least the last 10 years and possibly longer.

I can't thank everyone enough! THANK YOU ALL! Looks like I need to locate the part # first and then I need to call Ryder. That's not a bad price compared to what I researched from Ford, assuming I was even looking at the right thing before your kind responses. The ones from other places were close to $500! Ouch.

The part number is located where? I assume this isn't too hard. Looks like a few panels removed from the inside of the door and then removal and connection. Maybe a few wires to splice? I have the mirrors with the electronic adjustment but I don't believe they are heated.

The biggest pain is the fact that my RV is parked kind of far away from where I live. Always pain to work on it that way.

I may be pushing my luck, but I will also call Cruise America and see if they will switch it out for me. They might. They have been amazing with little unforseen things like this so far without questions or complaints. They always have odd parts on hand from constant maintenance on a large fleet of rentals just like mine. Fingers crossed...

Once again, thanks for the time and (perhaps unfortunately gained) experience offered. :)

Here is the PDF that was talked about in the other thread by Golfknut from 2007 it seems to have disappeared in that thread.

It looks like it could be fixed until a replacement could be found by getting it into the proper position and drilling two 1/8 holes at 180 degrees from each other through both parts and bolting together with two 1/8 bolts.

I guess I would check with Ford to see if they had a replacement.

It has happened to me. Like This?

It is a design flaw that lets water into the arm,it corrodes the arm end and with all the pressure from that spring it pops off the keeper breaking the pin end.
