Left Driver Side Manual Folding Power Glass Mirror for 2011-2019 Ford

In this review of the Lqito replacement left driver side mirror for 2011-2019 Ford Explorer, the bottom line is clear: if you need a direct-fit, durable mirror that restores factory functionality without fuss, this is a practical choice. The reviewer found the unit to be an OEM-style replacement that focuses on durability and ease of installation, making it a good option for owners dealing with a damaged mirror housing or failed motor. The main reason to buy is the combination of a robust PA66-GF30 housing and a pre-tested power glass motor that arrives ready to plug in.

Key Features

• Fit: Designed specifically for the left driver side on 2011-2019 Ford Explorer, it replaces factory part numbers GB5Z17683AB and BB5Z17683NA for a direct match.
• Durable housing: The PA66-GF30 material offers good hardness and toughness to resist cracking from road debris and weather exposure.
• Power glass motor: The included high performance motor restores powered mirror adjustment so features work like the original part.
• High temperature glass: The mirror glass is rated for higher temperature resistance which helps prevent warping or distortion in hot conditions.
• Plug and play: Arrives pre-tested and installs in about ten minutes without major disassembly, making replacement straightforward for DIYers.
• Three year warranty: A manufacturer limited warranty from date of purchase provides added reassurance for long term use.

Who It's For

The mirror is best for Ford Explorer owners from model years 2011 through 2019 who need a cost-effective, direct replacement for a damaged left side assembly and want restored powered adjustment without buying a dealer unit. It suits do-it-yourself installers who prefer a quick plug-and-play swap and those who prioritize corrosion resistance and long service life.

It is less appropriate for buyers who need heated glass, integrated blind spot indicators, or color-matched painted caps; this listing is for the black manual folding power glass version and does not imply additional OEM features beyond power adjustment and folding.
