GO SLOW AND EASY
This is from the drivers side. You want some small flat blade screwdrivers.
From the front side tip mirror to one side to give you access to the slots.
See the red circles? That is where you are going to be working. One screwdriver
to lift the tab and the other to push back on the cap to move it away from the housing.
You don't want to remove the glass do to the fact that it is a major PITA to get the
drive pins back into the little motors. Also you have the heat wires for the mirror to
watch out for. Don't want to break them that is for sure.
See the connector for the signal LED? It can be
on really good and hard to get off.
I used some needle nose pliers to remove then and then a heat gun
to soften them up to reinstall and spread the wings back out to hold
in place
Once your ready to put the cover back on. Line the
clips up in the slots and give it a push. They should
all snap in place.
Let me know if you need any more info.
Also the covers come from Ford with the signal LED
assembly installed. It's too bad that they won't sell
the LED assembly by it's self. Expensive little beast.
EDIT : I forgot there are 4 clips you have to deal with. Do two at a time.

Shouldn't one of these "upgrade to the 6.4 trans pan & filter" threads be in the Tech Folder??? I'm getting tired of searching for the dang things...
edit: I PM'd John to put one of the trans pan/filter update threads in the Tech Folder -- if one of you know of a good one, let him know...

Last week I ordered some 86 dollar lightly smoked headlights. Didn't expect much but I'm completely satisfied. Right out of the box I had minamal adjustment for the LED headlamps.

Sprung the old girl from jail today. She was at the dealership for the 150k service and a new thermostat. Temps are back where they should be and she seems a lot happier on the road.
Dealing with the old issue of money vs time and the lack of time won.
