Strange part found on Garage Floor

[Stewthebassman]

Hi all!

My daughter drives the Ranger to school 100 miles away and found this on the floor by the truck.

Is it ours? I can't reverse search it....I'm assuming the part number is at the top i.e. KB3B-17E730-AA D665R


Thank you!

Whatever it is, I would guess it’s the right hand side version of the part by the RH.

I had surmised as much.

Searching with parts of that string and other numbers on it, I find parts related to mirrors.

?‍

good luck!

Look on the bottom of the RH mirror , you will see a open hole

Wow, that was quick!

Bingo!

One of my daughters has some splainin' to do!

If there was a score for how many times someone has quickly and accurately helped others on here.. @airline tech would be the undisputed champion ?.

@airline tech is one of those chaps who as a kid tore everything apart and put it back together...much to his mother's dismay and father's delight!

Wouldn't be surprised if that was from dinging an adjacent vehicle's mirror in a parking lot. Something I always have to be careful about.

Which leads me to two rants- Why do vehicles today have mirrors that stick out so far? Things would be much better by keeping them closer to the body, which current mirror technology certainly allows for (OK, I know trailer towers and others may need them further out, but that could be accommodated while not requiring it for the 90% rest of us who don't need it). Secondly, the front door detent on the Ranger sucks- it's either halfway open or completely open with no stops in between. Just doesn't work in today's crowded parking lots. Shame on Ford.

There is a rather tight garage opening in the condo parking. It is entirely my daughter's doing. See my other thread where she backed into something and broke the right tail light!

Busted! But the best part is how she busted herself.
Daddy, what’s this thing for? I think something just fell off the truck. ????

Good thing it was a daughter and not a son…

That's okay, I thought it was a mouse door ...
