Rear view mirror, oe windshield

FL86BRONCO
Hi there,
 I had a Ford windshield installed in my 86 bronco and it came with a mount for a rear view mirror, I tried two universal fit mirrors and neither worked. Does anyone know where I could find a mirror that would work that isn't almost 200 dollars. I found the part number in this website and the ones left go for way too much for me on eBay.

This "Fit System DN100 Day/Night Rear View Mirror" on Amazon says it will fit.

And there's the "Fit System DN120 Day/Night Rear View Mirror"  Or the "Fit System DN080 Day/Night Rear View Mirror".

But other than those, all of the ones on Amazon appear to be designed to strap on to the old mirror, mount with a suction cup, or have a mount that won't fit a Ford.

I think I used a mirror from a 1999 or 2000 Crown Victoria that has auto day/night and a compass in it. I had no problem slipping it on the mount.

That would be pretty fancy, Bill.  But my mirror gives front & rear camera views awa compass heading and speed via GPS.

Mine was free, came from a junkyard along with a bunch of other late Crown Vic/Grand Marquis/Town car stuff.
