My ford focus wing mirror has been knocked off! I tried to connect is back on but it appears to be still loose!
I can completely remove the mirror and place it back on but there is no stability within it! Any idead on how this can be fixed without buying a brand new one?
Many Thanks
If you closely examine the door where it bolt up to the metal is probably bent a little so when you tighten up the mount its just not tight, bent the metal a little and should tighten things up for you. If nothing else take the other side off and look at how this are shaped on the other side.

You have to first remove the door panel, on mine there are 3 screws on the bottom and several clips all around it. After removing the panel you should see 2 or 3 bolt heads right behind the mirror, you need to use an extension and socket to remove them. remove the bolts and pull the mirror away from the door, unhook the wires, or cable and reverse to reinstall the new one, it took me about an hour to replace mine.

remove the plastic cover directly behind the mirror on the inside of the door, it just clips off normally with a flat blade or knife (Blunt knife if possible as a sharp one may cut the upholstery)
Once removed you should be able to see the retaining bolts that hold the mirror to the door.
If you have electric mirrors there should be a multi wire electrical plug you will have to disconnect before removing the mirror.
Hope this helps

Has it ocurred to you that your wing mirrors are not the electrically folding type, most are not. The switch on the drivers arm rest for adjusting the mirrrors will have a separate position for folding if yours fold. The resistance to fold by hand is very stiff as you have to overcome the spring tension, even when folded by hand they do not fold as flat as you might think.
I purchased a 2006 Golf 5 GT Tdi last year it had £5000 worth of factory fitted options but did not have electrically folding door mirrors - hope this helps.
