Second Hand Ford P100 Rear View Mirror

Yes, the Ford P100 pickup truck is fitted with an interior rear view mirror, though its usefulness is limited by the rear window's relatively small size and the load bed behind it. All standard cab variants were equipped with one, mounted to the windscreen header or screen in the conventional way. If you are looking for a side mirror (door mirror) instead, that is a separate part and you would need to specify nearside (NS) or offside (OS) when requesting quotes from a breaker.

The Ford P100 was produced from 1983 to 1992, with a facelift arriving around 1988 that brought updated interior trim and minor changes to fittings. A mirror from a pre-facelift truck (1983–1987) may physically differ from a post-facelift one (1988–1992) in terms of the mounting foot design or stalk style, so crossing that boundary is not guaranteed. When contacting a breaker, give them your registration or chassis number and ask them to confirm the mirror matches your specific build date rather than assuming all P100 mirrors are interchangeable.

The Ford P100 was available in base and higher trim levels (including L and GL grades), but the interior rear view mirror was a straightforward functional fitting that did not significantly vary between trims. You may find minor cosmetic differences in the surround or stalk finish depending on the spec of the donor vehicle, but these are unlikely to affect whether the mirror fits your truck. Any P100 mirror of the correct generation should mount up, though confirming with the breaker against your registration is always sensible.

No, the engine fitted to your Ford P100 has no bearing on the interior rear view mirror whatsoever. Whether your truck has the 2.0 Pinto petrol, the 2.9 V6, or the Perkins diesel, the mirror is an interior fitting determined by the cab generation rather than what is under the bonnet. Tell the breaker your vehicle's year and build specification, and they will be able to identify the right part without needing your engine details.

On the Ford P100, the interior rear view mirror is typically mounted to the windscreen glass via an adhesive button and a ball-and-socket or friction stalk, which is common for commercial vehicles of that era. If the button has come away from your screen, the button and stalk may be sourced separately, and some breakers will supply them together as a unit. When buying from a breaker, check whether the button is included or whether you will need to re-glue a new button to your existing screen, as this is a simple but separate job.

Replacing an interior rear view mirror on a Ford P100 is generally a straightforward DIY job; it involves sliding or unclipping the old mirror from its mount and fitting the replacement, or regluing the windscreen button if the mount has detached. No specialist tools or professional fitting are required for this part, unlike safety-critical components such as airbags. Make sure the replacement mirror is secure before driving, as a poorly fitted mirror is both a legal and a practical hazard on the road.
