Good video. However you are totally able to replace without removal of the door panel. I popped off the top trim piece. Disconnected the wiring. Used a ratcheting box wrench to remove the bottom bolt and backed it out with my fingers. I did the other bolts with a 10mm socket. Slapped on the new mirror and did the inverse of previous steps. Whole job took 5 min
Agree with the comments about removing the door panel - utterly unnecessary. Have just this job (at 72..) in less than 20 minutes, using a 10mm ring spanner..
ARE THE STEPS THE SAME FOR THE DRIVER SIDE MIRRIOR??? I'M TRYING TO SAVE A LITTLE MONEY BY DOING SOME OF MY OWN WORK...THANK YOU VERY MUCH I'LL KEEP WATCHING I HAVE AN 08' ESACAPE, AND WOULD APPRECIATE ANY TIPS AND HELP I COULD GET... GOOD WORK BRO, STAY UP, SHOUT FROM S.E.L.A., 56-DEUCE SOUTHEAST LOS ANGELES, CITY OF WHITTIER...🍀😎👍💪
@@bwilliamsTX I agree. My mechanic just did this job on my 2008 Escape in 5 minutes without removing the door panel. He said he had a special tool for the tight spots.
I feel stupid I forgot about the bolt in the door handle couldn't figure out why it wouldn't come off but I was still able to get the bolts out to replace so it still worked out in the end it just became more difficult for me to do it but as long as I still was able to accomplish the goal still ended well
You know what's funny is that I think it's literally, illegal to make it hard to work on a vehicle per say, because all they had to do was make the door trim able to access those three bolts which would been one of the most easiest things possible to do and because they didn't, it's illegal, for taking our Liberty away from us, that's a ruling that the supreme Court made against the car dealerships and it's the reason why GMC was going bankrupt because they were making cars that were illogical to be able to work on them. And they were paying out big fines because gmc refused to literally fix the design flaws and it made them bankrupt.(I literally think that they took the government to court over it and actually won because they decided to go bankrupt before they made any legal rulings inside the company), All you have to do is report to the better Business bureau about Ford and the way that they made the escape to where you have to take the whole door panel off in order to remove the mirror because that's a lot of work and honestly it's a design flaw, all they have to do is make the trim and cut it in such a way to where you can access all three bolts. So good luck at ferrying this message to the above appropriate authorities... America needs it. Have fun guy 🤪😮

I scrolled down to post the same comment. Took me longer to comment than to replace the mirror.

Do you have to take off the door panel? It looked like the 3 mirror bolts were exposed on the first cover you removed...?
+Brad Williams Thanks for watching! Yes you will have to remove the door panel in order to remove the mirror.
@@TRQ I did it without taking off the door panel. It's a tight fit for the tools but it can be done.
