Well, as suspected, the 06 mirrors don't fit.

Countour wise, they seem to match up. The problem is, they changed the location of the plug pass through and the mounting studs.

No dice.

That said, the glass is the same. Appears to be anyway. It won't drop into my manual mirrors, but that's to be expected. So, I can transplant that into a set of power ranger 06 mirrors. Which I'll have to purchase anyway.

I took some photos of how they fit up (or don't, rather) to a Ranger door. 98-00 ranger pictured. If  those of you with some fab skills are inclined to make these fit, well here's some info that may help you out. Also, a couple photos are of the mirrors still on the explorer to give a good view of the contour.

On the Ranger photos, keep in mind that the mirror is held so that it appears to be in the correct mounting location, if  going only by the contours.

I also have photos of how to take the door panel off, if desired. Pic dump incoming.
