Hey all, new member here.
We've had our 2013 MKX Limited Edition package for a year now and we really like it except for a few things - chief of which being the visibility. Here's the deal, Instead of driving a 2013 at the dealer, we drove a family friend's 2011 MKX, fully loaded with blind spot warning. The mirrors were awesome. Big and easy to see out of and still had the blind spot warning system. We went ahead and bought the new 2013, and I didn't even notice how much smaller the mirrors were until about a week later. Holy crap, what a difference! The mirrors on the 2013 are absolutely tiny! I thought the blind spot warning and adding a little convex mirror would help, but not so. My wife has complained about almost being in an accident because of the mirrors. Not sure when they switched over to the smaller "more streamline" mirrors, but they certainly botched them. We've talked about trading it off for something different because of that issue (among other visibility concerns like the huge b-pillar and d-pillar, but having the larger mirrors would make a huge difference).
So my question, is can I get the larger 2011 Edge/MKX mirrors, and are they plug and play? Anyone know of any part numbers and if they're available through Tasca parts or elsewhere?
