Has anyone come across an issue with the bracket on the FW3419? The bracket on the original glass has an oval shape to it. We have checked a Pilk, FYG, and Sekurit and they all have a square shape bracket. Probably going to go through dealer, but wondering if anyone else had the same issue.
yes we did 2 years ago on a mobile. not sure why the oval bracket exists. we were confused as well/ we swaped the brackets urethaned the oval one back and returned the next day to mount the mirror. Did not like doing this but we agreed to provide a new windshield at a certain price ?? we have done 15 since and all have been the rectangular bracket.
It's not a 3419, that is the answer found this over on the face book, Never personally seen this. The cheapest solution is buy the square mirror and cover beats the hell out of buying a dealer windshield.
I do about 20 of these a month. can you enlighten us with a vin #? I Would be curious to see as what RightGlass decodes this part to..
Customer is a very particular and serious person so we just ordered from the dealer, but thanks for the tip. It did come in with the oval bracket on it.
Larry, I would provide the VIN but this customer would flip if I ever released any of their information on a forum. I know they would never find out, but this is the kind of job where Mr. Murphy and his laws make multiple appearances so better safe than sorry. Hope you understand.
