Wing mirror - Fiesta mk4 compatibility

[mihalyn90]

Hello,

Is the Fiesta MK4 wing mirror compatible with the Puma?

It won't fit as the base plate the mirror sits on is different

oh heck... i mean the glass only the glass... we talk about fiesta mk4, fiesta ghia, and puma 1.7 heated mirror glass

just to answer the question...

Fiesta MK4 1996 mirror glass IT IS COMPATIBLE with Puma...

single difference, the heater pins are smaller... so you need to chop the two wires, and attach a smaller plug

Is the rest of it compatible, i.e. the bits inside apart from the base plate?

Need two new sets of (electric) mirror internals but can only find fiesta ones. Pretty much everything between the glass and the door is snapped in some way...

I'm pretty sure it was the same from my memory of the old discussions, even 96+ Escorts

I bought a fiesta mirror and the mirror casing and pivoting mounting arm mounted perfectly to the puma bodywork/metal baseplate.

I had to bin the new plastic fiesta baseplate that came with it as it wasn't identical (body shape obviously different). The mirror casing although it interfaces perfectly to the puma baseplate, it is about 15mm to 1" longer overall so my mirror is slightly further away and sticks out slightly more now!

The electric mirror motor bits are totally different as is the mirror glass mount itself so I would now have to buy fiesta mirror glass if I ever cracked this new one (round attachment mount rather than square).

Not bothered messing with the electric socket yet.... I'm hoping it will work if I just wire up the right bits/buy a fiesta socket half for the car side pushing the mirror to adjust it doesn't seem that difficult to be honest, but I know I'll miss the heater when it gets cold!!
