Driver side mirror and sliding doors

[olliek]

And no they are not connected!

I have 2 problems.

1) So my wife did it (again - but this time fatal damage). She destroyed the driver side mirror. So I need to replace it. Gone to some websites and the cheapest one lists "Kool Vue Driver Side Mirror - Plastic Non-heated 1999-2002 Ford Windstar MIRROR, POWER, NON-HEATED, BLACK -- With 3-hole, 3-prong connector; A high quality, direct fit OE replacement mirror." for $28 plus taxes and shipping ($10). This seems cheap compared to other websites. I just want to get a feeling whether this is way off?

2) my sliding doors are rusting through. I see this on the road a lot. I live on the coast and am on the beach summer and winter a lot. I don't want to spend thousands on new doors, so I thought about applying rust stoppers, but that turns the whole thing black and ugly. anyone dealt with this before? And how did you solve it?

Thanks as always.
