87/88 T-Bird Mirrors March 21, 2019, 06:17:06 PM Would like to find a set of black '87/'88 T-bird power mirrors for my '86 Cougar GS. I remember reading that the '87/'88 mirrors will fit on '83/'86 cars, and I think they look a little cooler than the '83/'86's. And I like the black T-bird ones over my Cougar's chromes. Thanks.

Re: 87/88 T-Bird Mirrors Reply #3 – March 25, 2019, 09:44:36 PM I did pick it up on Saturday and it has a good drivers side mirror to match the passenger side one that I already had. I will ship you the pair for $85. Quote Selected

Re: 87/88 T-Bird Mirrors Reply #5 – March 28, 2019, 06:34:39 PM 50RACER,Was I correct when I mentioned that the '87/'88 mirrors will bolt right onto an '86? Or does something have to be removed? Is each mirror in 2 pieces (seems like there's a 'splitter' on your mirrors that mine doesn't have). Thanks again. Quote Selected
Re: 87/88 T-Bird Mirrors Reply #6 – March 28, 2019, 09:37:16 PM I do not know the answer to that question. I have never looked at a set of mirrors from an 86 model. Quote Selected

You should be able to then take the screws out of the splitters, and put those in the mirror housings to mount up like normal.All the mirror info you'd ever want is here:https://www.coolcats.net/restoring/mirror.html Quote Selected
Re: 87/88 T-Bird Mirrors Reply #8 – April 22, 2019, 05:35:41 PM 50RACER,If the splitters can't be re-used on my car, then I actually only need the driver's side black mirror. I also need the triangle-shaped cover plate that hides the mirror mounting screws for the passenger side. Could you price me just the driver's mirror, and that cover if you have it? Thanks.
