Which Ford Focus mirror do you have?
Features depend on year, market and trim. Cars like yours may come with:
- Manual or cable adjustment on some older cars
- Electric adjust and heated glass on many trims
- Power folding on some trims
- Indicator repeater in the housing or cap
- Blind spot warning (BLIS) on some cars, with a light in the mirror
Test your own car: does the mirror adjust electrically, fold, show an indicator, or clear mist with the rear screen heater on? Match those features when ordering.
Common Ford Focus wing mirror problems
- Broken glass or housing after car park knocks
- Indicator or fold function stopping
- Worn adjustment motors on older cars
Tip for your Focus
If you have a warning light near the mirror glass, your Focus may have blind spot detection. Replace like for like.
Glass, cap or full unit?
If only the glass is cracked, glass alone is usually enough. A broken housing, a dead motor or a failed indicator usually means a full unit. See glass vs full unit and replacing a wing mirror.
