Thanks for the info. This web site is awesome, I found a mirror in Maine and put it on the car. The mirror was cheap because they were missing the glass, which was still ok in mine, so after patching all the pieces together my Taurus is perfect again.
A tip for all you out there with the recent model Taurus: the painted part of the mirror is a seperate piece of plasitc that is seperate from the mirror itself, it comes apart real easily from the inside, it simply clips to the mirror. If you need to replace the mirror and this part is not broken, you can simply replace it, no painting necessary. Also if you need to paint it and want a perfect factory look, simply remove this piece before painting.
