Hello,

My interior rear mirror has deteriorated so much that it's time to replace it.

After a couple of YouTube videos later, I managed to detach the old one.

Now a question - are newer mirrors (let's say, from the 2017 model year) compatible with a '06 Mustang?

I found a good deal on this one, but I'm not sure if it matches the mount.

My 2009 Mustang had a basic manual mirror. I switched it with a power dimming mirror and the wiring plug was right there under the headliner. As far as the mounting tab on the glass, those are all the same for the last 60 years, all makes and models from Acura to Volkswagen.

My 2006 GT seems to be without a socket for power dimming - I double-checked that today. It's no big deal, as dimming is not my goal and I have a tinted rear window anyway. I am more worried about the mounting tab and whether a newer mirror will fit it.

Following this too as my mirror is in bad shape too and I'm looking to change it.

So... I've ended up buying Ford mirror, part number 011083. Mount tab the same as old one, so it fit perfectly. Mirror itself 2-3cm wider, so some kind of upgrade :D

It cost me ~15$ or so, much less than the one that had 'Mustang' in title (around ~50$) :D
