Gentex or other Smart Dimming Mirror

[mdsalemi]

Hello folks, just got my Maverick on Friday. Imagine my surprise when the rear view mirror is a conventional flip style. Honestly, I have not had a car without a self-dimming mirror in probably 20-25 years; so this is a surprise to me! To me it's somewhat akin to the automatic lights and automatic climate control.

I note that Gentex has some aftermarket style, some with or without the HomeLink garage door buttons (another thing missing from my Maverick which had been on nearly every other Ford I've had in the past). Has anyone installed these?

I trust those who have done such mods more than any generic product instructions. Looking for any advice other than suck it up.

Plenty of threads on this. This is the one I followed. Has all of the info how to install and where to buy.

I’ve since switched to a rear view camera mirror in my newer Maverick.

A little different and takes getting used to but wider angle of view with no headrests or passengers in the way. 2nd link is for an adapter that lets you mount directly to the window.
