Educate me on Driverside remote mirror.

[Mill KNOB]

So I have a set of doors that came off of an Explorer and the driverside has a factory remote mirror.
So did the Explorers come with the Remote Mirrors?

Are they rare to see?

Check the pictures out to see if it looks like a factory mirror.

I really have not look for any type or FoMcO or Ford stamp on the mirror.

That is the stock remote mirror. I think they were optional on any Bronco. You'll have to unscrew it from the door to see the number.

Available on Broncos starting in '69. Most part # are a C9 and some are D3s.

Dennis you being the Explorer guru, did they come on the Explorer models? The inside door panel looks like a regular metal panel.

I know that people change doors all the time. But I am 99% sure that this one came with the Explorer model that I got these doors are of.

You are welcome.

I will take the mirror off the door today and post some pictures of the ford part number.

They were a regular production option on any Bronco. Not part of any package.

I have a PO installed passenger side remote,but no remote on the driver side. Looking at the option list Viperwolf posted I'd be happy to give you list price for yours.But it looks to be a different style.
My driver side was a standard model that didn't look the same ,so I've been looking for a match. I found this one at a swap meet,close but no cigar. It was only $5,and it looks closer . Now I have 2 options to find a match.

I pull the mirror and this is the ford part number I found.

Gasket Help!

My bronco has the holes in the driver's door (inside and out) for the remote mirror. based on the information on this thread I have purchased what I think is the correct mirror: C9TB-17683-B (which matches up with Mill KNOB's photo).

The mirror I purchased came with a gasket, but the rear part had been ripped off. Doing a little research it initially seemed like the same gasket for non-remote mirrors should fit. I purchased a gasket from one of our good vendors, but it turned out to be too short (see pic).

I've emailed two of our Bronco vendors and called Dennis-Carpenter directly trying to find the right gasket. Both vendors had the understanding that the normal gasket should fit. The question then turns to do I have the right mirror...? When called Dennis-Carpenter I had them measure a gasket they had in stock, and it sounded too short (under 7").

Mirror model#: C9TB-17683-B
OEM gasket# that came with: C9TB-17C701-A
Measured length of the mirror base: 7 1/4 - 7 1/2" (wasn't very exact when I did it)
Gasket Length from vendor/Dennis-Carpenter): 6 3/4"

Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated!
