Ford expedition side mirror (instalation giude)

SOURCE: i need to replace passenger side mirror on 97 ford expedition

You probably don't need to pull the door panel. On the outside of the mirror is a plastic trim cover. Use a trim stick to remove it to allow access to the screws holding the mirror in. Don't unhook them yet. On the inside, remove the plastic trim over the door/windshield pillar - first removing any grab handles that may be there. You don't say if this is a power mirror. If not, then that should do it. If it is, you may need to lift the dash cover up slightly with the trim stick to gain access to any electrical hookups.

Trim stick = soft tool for use in removing plastic pieces without messing them up.

The one with the turnsignal intergrated into it?

If so.....

Push the Mirror FORWARD, up close to the pivot poit there is a small torx head screw - unscrew that.
At the tapered end carefully pull/pry down. That end has a small metal spring clip that holds it up, be careful with it, if it snaps, you can NOT by a new one...

Go to any glass shop, they'll cut a new mirror and glue it on top of the old one. Much cheaper than replacing the whole unit (hundreds).

On the inside trim, you can remove screws that are by the door handle, arm rest, under door and side of door and then gently pull back on the panel as there will also be retaining clips attached and you don't want to break them. You'll need to lift the door panel upwards in order to get it off the window ledge. Then you'll need to manipulate the panel and disconnect the door handle linkage from the door handle and disconnect the wiring for your controls. Then you can access the bolts that secure the mirror onto the door
