How to replace wing mirror on my ford focus.

Instructions
1


Disconnect your negative battery cable, if your Ford Focus has power side mirrors. If it has manual side mirrors, disconnecting the battery is unnecessary.

2


Pry off the wing mirror's inside sail panel (shaped like a triangle). Insert a trim panel tool between the door skin and the plastic panel to pry it off.





3


Carefully pull the sail panel away, minding the wiring if the mirror is power-operated. Unplug the electrical harness and set the panel aside.

4


Open the door and hold the outside part of the wing mirror steady. Remove the mounting bolt with a socket wrench, and then remove the mirror screw with a Phillips screwdriver (the mirror bolt and screw is visible with the panel removed).

5


Pull the wing mirror assembly from its mount (from the outside). Insert the replacement mirror assembly in place; tighten the bolt and the screw.

6


Attach the wiring connection to the replacement mirror. Position the sail panel in place and push it against the door to snap it back on.

You have to remove the sail cover that's on the opposite side of the mirror. It is held on by just some plastic lips on the edges. Pry off carefully. There is one speed nut at the very front of the mirror and one large nut in the center. That's it. Don't drop the big nut into the door panel.

Hm, this may be a trip to the dealer.. Other alternatives include your local salvage yards. Carpart.com (a search tool which searches the inventory of scap yards nationwide) shows a few mirrors on there, but they are the same price as new ones listed on eBay. Good luck!

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.

Hope helps (remember comment and rated this). TY for using Fixya.

you have to buy a complete mirror either from ford or aftermarket around $60 aftermarket

Go to a breakers yard or ford, you will have to unscrew & pull off the interior cap on the insde to udo the mirror whole unit & pop the glass out of the old unit by pulling carefully, then disconnect the motor & wiring, then re-fit as dismantled.
Hope this helps, If you can't do it yourself then buy the mirror & take it to a decent garage as they are not hard to replace & the dealership will charge twice as much !
Hope this helps !

I checked Ford Focus mirror replacement and it seems to be the same. This is for the manual, unheated mirror.

Remove the mirror cover inside the door - slide a screwdriver behind the cover and pry loose carefully.

Remove the single 10mm bolt and the mirror comes free.
NB. Do not drop the bolt into the door.

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.

Usually its easier and cheaper to buy the whole assembly rather than try to just replace the mirror. If you go to a junkyard and buy it there they will show you how to do it.
