Super video....got to help my son replace one of these later today....thank you !!
@@robertjames3860 no problem. I hope it goes well and please reach out if you get stuck
Just replaced mine yesterday. Easy way to avoid the wires keeping the window from going down- remove the speaker from the door. Easy to remove, and makes routing the wires MUCH easier- and you’ve got so much more room to work!
@@n89434 great idea! I’m glad you sorted the mirror!
Thanks man, really makes the job easier when you get to watch someone else perform it first. Now Im better prepared for when the wife accidentally rips the next one off lol... Cheers!
@@ryanlanier7150 glad to be of service buddy!
Great video, and I'm glad I found this as I need to replace the same mirror on my step daughters car as the same thing happened to hers when she was going down a country lane.
Thanks for making it so easy and straightforward, and the advice about the piece of string will definitely come in handy. 😁👍
@@r7bkr no problem buddy. It seems to be a common occurrence on the roads nowadays. I hope she is ok from the incident as it shook my daughter up. I have a few other videos on Fiesta maintenance in the channel so please do check them out and feel free to fire over any questions also 👍
@@andycharger - Thanks, yeah she was okay and has been driving for a couple of years so a little bit more confident than a new driver so that definitely helped. I have subscribed and will check out the other video too. I have a channel myself, but don't post much as I keep doing things and forgetting to video it. 😂 so maybe I need to start doing more.
@ definitely film everything you do as it really helps others! I will check it out! 👍
Clear instructions, looks easy.. Time to get a mirror & see 😁.. Thanks for the vid👍
@@blackcountrybloke1436 thanks for the feedback buddy. You can do it! 👍
Should have taken ur idea when I repaired an indicator stalk on wife's aygo.. These vids are really helpful
@@blackcountrybloke1436 no problem! I’m glad they help! 👍
Thank you, im now ready to fit my mirror on the drivers side door. Excellent to watch someone do it first, makes life so much easier.
@@lindamurray8135 thank you Linda I’m glad my tutorial helps and you feel more comfortable doing it now. If you need and more info on it, please let me know!
doing mine tomorrow plz update
@@benxviv I’m sure you will be fine if you follow the video 👍
@ thanks life saver
@ thanks Ben! I’m glad it helped! 👍
Thank you,
I changed mine , after watching your video!!!
I’m so glad it helped you! Happy motoring and don’t forget to check out my other fiesta videos! 👍
Mine had T25 behind handle, was a T20 behind card. Had a full socket set with a T25 attachment so wasn't an issue. Followed video and was done within 30 mins 👍
@@AndrewFeely-Crawford great to know it helped and thanks for update on your bolt sizes. Sounds like there are some variations across the range 👍
@@andycharger Can you manually fold these mirrors ? I've never been successful as I don't want to break them.
@@scooby2142 Yes you absolutely can. Just give them a shove in and they fold. How much that make a difference to "width" in folded state is up for debate!
Good tip to use a piece of string to get the cable through 👍
Thanks for sharing (gonna have to fix my mother's car mirror)
Thanks for the kind words and I’m glad it helped you 👍
Really clear and useful!
Thank you Mike! Much appreciated
I need to replace my passenger side mirror as some scumbag decided it was fun to kick off. Going to buy a replacement from eBay and try myself 😊 thanks for the vid
Ah man! What a pain. The only good thing about it is that it is a fairly cheap job compared to a lot of wing mirrors ( my Mondeo one a few years ago was £500!). Good luck and let me know if you get stuck 👍
Same as me
@@danielshane7390 I hope you got it sorted Daniel!
This is great, I'm going to try it. As I went to see my daughter this morning and my passenger side one was hanging off, is it basically the same principle
How did it go, I’m soon going to replace the passenger side wing mirror for a very good friend….
Great, wouldn't have a had a clue.. Thanks so much just hope it same for folding mirror 👌
Im glad it helped. Looking at many of the comments, this is definitely a well received video. Hopefully your folding mirror worked the same. Thanks again for the comment!
Hi mate. Did this video work for the power folding mirror? Need to fit mine. Thanks.
@@DannielleRobertson48 Hi. Thanks for getting in touch and yet it works the same!
Thanks for video. My 2010 Fiesta had a 13mm nut not a 12 as yours had.
Freakin’ great tutorial! Saved my day! Thank you!
@@Creallusion thanks buddy! Much appreciated. I’m glad it helped, plenty more fiesta content on my channel 😉
Any recommendations on what to do if the nut is lost in the door? 😅
@@hywelphillips5290 yep. Window up, door card off and get your arm in for a root around! 👍
@@andycharger legend - thanks!
@@hywelphillips5290 No worries buddy!
@@andycharger have taken door card off and tried my best to get my hand in but no luck. Do you know where I can get a replacement nut?
@@hywelphillips5290happened to me, I just unscrewed the speaker and it was right there.
This is great, I'm going to try it. As I went to see my daughter this morning and my passenger side one was hanging off, is it basically the same principle
Exactly the same principle Keith. Give it a go! You can do it!
@andycharger well I did it today all went well ,I used a bit of string like you said. Thank you for a helpful video.
If my mirror has been clipped but still on, can I just remove the rubber grommet and tighten the bolts ? The mirror is wiggling around and just needs tightening up.
I guess you can oliver, yes. However what tends to happen is the plastic colour coded cover tends to have unseen broken clips which cause it to rattle and fall off. If it feels tights are tightening, all good. If not, I would replace it for £30.
Nice one Andy, good job🚖👍
@@Xn_Qi66 thank you buddy. Your comment and support is Much appreciated 👍
@andycharger Hi, very useful guide about how to go about the repair! Only issue is I’m trying to distinguish what electrical connection I need. Mines a 2013 Zetec S. Manual Fold Mirrors with Electrical Glass Adjustment. No heated glass on the passenger side. Some on eBay with 8 block connections (up to 2012), some with 8 block up (2008-2017) and there’s also 10 block connections for (2013 to 2017). Any help or recommendations before I have to the whole door card apart twice😂
Great video, thank you very much!
I’m glad it helped you buddy! Thanks for the comment
Hi Andy, I have a gap on the bottom of the driver's side mirror, about three eighths are there different mirror fixings for different years? Mines a 2008 fiesta zetec, tried screwing the bolt in but the mirror won't go any nearer the door . Any ideas 🤔
@@johncastillon sounds like the mirror is not “all the way home” when mounting it. It should fit snuggly. I did see somewhere in the comments that an aftermarket mirror did not fit. However, mine was aftermarket and fitted fine. Our car is a 2012 mk7 (pre mk 7.5 facelift model)
@andycharger Thanks, Andy, I did eventually get it back a tad, but I can live with the gap that's left, top video, by the way. Thanks for posting.
@@johncastillon my pleasure John. Anything else you need on the Fiesta, please let me know! 👍
It isn’t a 12mm socket bit for my car was 13mm and the 2 handle screws were a T25 and the third one above was a T15 2010 ford fiesta titanium
Thanks for the update. There seems to be some discrepancies in some models as the majority of people who have watched have the same size. I am glad you got it sorted. 👍
Make sure you buy the correct mirror if yours has electric folding back mirrors .
i just got ford fiesta 2012 but the mirror tilt doesnt go all the way up the way it does on the left side. i took the cover off but the motor stops right at the top and there is no more room to move. do you have any recommendation?
@@bajektechbytes sounds like the glass is getting stuck. I would pop the glass off. You can do it with a plastic pry tool around the edge of the glass, being careful not to crack it. It’s attached on a round plastic bracket. Once off, move the mirror motor and see if that frees it up. Then put the switch back to the middle, reattach the glass and retest. Let me know how you get on! 👍
@@andycharger still the same, I cleared the inside but also I can’t see anything obvious. The motor at the bottom in moving in and out but I feel like the mirror goes too low
Im just ordering a new wing mirror. Thank you for your guide! Only had that car for a day and I’m already taking it apart 😂😂
My drivers side wing mirror isn't adjusting and the side repeater isn't working. Do you know what the fault could be? I took the wing mirror cover off and the cables look ok. if it's a fuse, do you know the location of the fuse I need to check? I know there's a fusebox behind the glovebox but I could not see from the diagram which fuse points to the wing mirror adjuster and side repeater. Any help is appreciated!
Hi. Sounds to me like the connector is not secured into the plug although I take it from your reply you have tried that. If you can remove the mirror to get access to the plug, ensure it is clipped in tightly and you hear the “click” as it engages. The fuse is a 7.5 amp fuse and is next to another 7.5 amp fuse that is labelled for the electric windows. You can see that one from the little icon but the mirrors one often does not have an icon. I hope that helps and you get it sorted.
@@andycharger thanks! turns out the previous owner fitted an incorrect wing mirror unit so the plug wasn't even plugged it as it doesnt fit. I bought a new one and forgot to tie a string when removing the old unit.
now when my window go down it gets caught in the wing mirror cable.
How do I know which hole to feed it through to? i tried to stick my finger through the hole from the connector end but it is too small. I tried having my window completely down before feeding the cable through but i can even feel where the cable is.
Hi and thanks for the comment. The hole is quite low down and towards the hinge from memory.
@@andycharger yeah you’re right! Figured it out! I found that when fed the cable through if I kept the cable as close to the hinge/inside of the door panel and ran the cable down I’ll eventually find the hole! Bit fiddly but at least I know for next time to tie a string before removing the old unit!
just done this and window doesn't fully open, so annoying. Tied string round it as well but the route through just seems so tight. I've got an 11 plate fiesta and it was way more fiddly than you made it look. Or you're just a pro!
Ha ha! Thanks for your comment but I am far from a pro. Mine did the same so I did a window reset. Ignition on, window all the way down. Let go of the button, then hold the button down again for 5 seconds. Then put the window up and let go. Then pull the switch up for 5 seconds. Then turn ignition off. Turn ignition back on and test the window. It worked for me. Hopefully it does for you too.
@@andycharger nice one I'll try that. Was thinking I was going to have to take it all apart again
Take the speaker off the door. Much easier to manipulate the wires where they need to be!
