another mirror removal question
Simple one, millions of search results and no time to rummage through them. I have to replace the tow mirror on my X, it's rather easy isn't it?

Yes It Is, Just Remove The Interior Door Panel So You Can Get To The Wire Assembly (power Mirrors) And Remove The Small Plastic Piece At The Top Of The Door Which Covers The Bolts That Hold The Mirror In Place. Takes No Time At All, Just Do Not Over Torque The Bolts, Had One Snap On Me.

Thats A Little More Difficult, Had To Replace The Drivers Side Seat Leather On My Old Excursion, Took About Two Hours Because You Have To Take The Seat Completely Apart, But After A Few F&$# You Fights With My Wife, Whom Was Trying Her Best To Assist, We Got The Job Done. Ordered My Parts From Fordparts.com, They Have Oem Ford Replacement Covers For Low Cost.

Back to the mirror question. The electrical connection is behind the speaker, so that has to come off too after you take off the door panel.
btw, the mirrors have 4 bolts (two are hiding under the rubber plugs, and the other behind the little black panel underneath the sticky foam sheet thing.
Hope that helps!

Just Pull Up On The Door From The Bottom Of The Panel And The Arm Rest, It Will Slide Out Of The Groves On The Door. Its A Little Bit Of A Pain In The A&* To Put Back In Place Because You Have To Make Sure All The Groves Line Up With The Door.

New mirror is on, thanks for the advise guys. The only thing I don't like is the driver's side mirror is the original style, the new passenger is the break forward and rear style so there is a bit of difference but I don't think you'd notice it unless you're looking for it.
