Christopher Quast Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Do I have to replace them completely and if so where is a good place to buy some for a 98 ford contour? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott K Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Yes you will need to replace it, it means there is a crack in it somewhere. hsolist is where I would start, I have seen them there for $20 with a new bulb in them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shack Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 As a temporary fix, I have had good luck drilling a small hole as a drain at the bottom corner of housing. This seems to help the water drain. If you want to replace do as 4.W.E. said or try Certifit in North St. Paul. They are very cheap and should have them in stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy airjer W Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 We get most of our mirrors and headlamp assemblies from keystone. To date I have been very happy with the fit and quality of there products. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom7227 Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 There used to be places called junk yards where you went and got what you needed. Don't they exist any more? I guess I'm old and spoiled - I live near Hugo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott K Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 The problem with junk yards they will charge about 50% of dealer list, which is about $80 each, or you can buy after market for $20-$40 each new! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norm25 Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 The question also arises What do you get from a junk yard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shack Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Ya, I got a new heater power mirror a while back from Certifit for about $34.00. Johns wanted $50 for used and wated $70.00 for an after market one, which (I think it was Valv who said it) is the same after mirror from Certifit. Just have to drive another 10 minutes to the east right to Certifit. I am all for a company making money, but I all that and a bag of chips for me saving money and make just that much more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Quast Posted July 25, 2008 Author Share Posted July 25, 2008 I have never heard of certifit or keystone could you guys give me a little more info please on these two places location, hours, and best way to get there coming from the west. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shack Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Certifit is located in Vadnais Heights, right off of 35E just up from 694. Go to google and type in certifit. It will be the first one on the list. Go to "contact us" at the bottom and then click on the state of MN.Keystone is in Mpls. Do the same search as above, but use "keystone-auto". They are down off of Marshall I think.Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valv Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Certifit has my business since a long time ago. New headlights and they also have a bulb already in it. Some people think it's different stuff then OEM, I can only say I was at a Chevy dealer once and they sold a mirror to a guy in same Certifit has. Dealer price $ 185.00, Certifit $ 35.00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
