Thanks. Im sure it is something left up to us to sort out. I could right a book and the problems with aftermarket parts. Putting my Bronco back together there really hasnt been a single piece that was correct. Had to go backwards and restore original parts and put them on. What really pisses me off is the hardware. Grill letters require 8 nuts? Right, we will include 7. Screw heads in current Chinese configuration, too long. Holes not tapped.

I had my upholstery guy 3D print a set that matched the doors

Can you heat them up in boiling water and mold them?
If I was willing to grind the foot of the mirror to fit the door first it wouldnt be a problem. Unfortunately the bottom of the mirror is flat. The same mirrors are used on Mustangs of this vintage, BUT those come with a gasket shape to match the negative curve of a Mustang door where the mirrors mount. Guess there arent enough classic Bronco owners to justify doing it right.
