Hi everyone, I'm new and this is my first post. Please forgive me if I shouldn't be posting this here. I live in Toronto, Ontario and just bought my first F150. I cannot park it in the garage tho, mirrors stick out to far.

Anyone here in Toronto or GTA that knows of a place here that can do these mods?

Thanks!

I don't know of a place, per se, but if you get power fold mirrors, so long as you're either swapping out the power mirror switch with a power folding one, or you're adding your own switch, they'll wire in pretty easily.

It also might help if you shared what kind of truck you had, you'd get more people chiming in with self help that way.

Thanks for the reply, I do have power mirrors. It's a 2017 XLT Sports Package.

Power mirrors and power fold mirrors are two different things.

Power mirrors mean you can adjust them without sticking your hand outside the truck and moving them.

Power fold means you have a switch that makes them fold into the truck automatically.

I do have power mirrors but not power fold. I thought elricfate was asking if I had power mirrors because it woudld be easy to convert to power fold?

elricfate

No, I was advising you that if you purchased a set of "power fold" mirrors and the OEM switch, or aftermarket switch, you can wire them in place of your current non-power fold mirrors.

Ok great that's how I read your message. But I did mean I wanted to convert to power fold so it can fit in my garage.

Is is it best to buy the power fold mirror and switch from Ford?

Maybe someone the board is local and can do it for me

elricfate

To me, it's better to buy OEM and just swap out what you have. To others it might not matter as much.

I hope you can find someone to do it for you, especially if you're not comfortable doing it yourself. Like I said earlier, there's plenty of posts on how to change out mirrors, and it's relatively easy, but you might have to run additional wiring.

Ultimately I'm sure there's a body shop who will do it for you, nearby.
