Which Ford Transit mirror do you have?
Features depend on year, market and trim. Cars like yours may come with:
- Manual or electric adjustment
- Heated glass on many vans
- Wide-angle or convex lower glass on some
- Indicator repeater on some versions
- Extension or towing mirror arms
- Power folding on some trims
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.

- Loose arms or fixings from vibration
- Cracked glass
- Damaged lower convex glass
Tip for your Transit
Tell us if your Transit has a lower wide-angle section. The spotter glass is part of many vans' mirrors.
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.
