Thanks a million, Man! I just did this job. You were very bright to even mention the millimeter size sockets needed. I checked to see if I had all the sockets before beginning.Took me about 1 hour. By the way, I did not have magnitic sockets. A trick I have always used in the past, is to push a wad of PVC tape into the socket with a pocket screw driver. This holds
the hex nut, so it does not fall down in to the door someplace! Very bad. Thanks again!
very useful instructions, thank you. 2003 Explorer, driver side mirror -- A few things that greatly complicated the repair for me: (1) the cable cartridge attached to the mirror adjustment button would not come off, so I had to work with the door panel pushed to the side still attached in the front through a rather short stretch of cable - very annoying, (2) the 3 bolts that hold the mirror in place are sunk rather deeply into the door frame. The holes are small enough that you can't grab the bolts with your fingers, so when they come off at the very end, unless you're careful (I wasn't) they'll drop right to the bottom of the door - happy fishing!, (3) the panel that contains the mirror control buttons snaps in place in the front, but has a plastic ledge on the back that keeps it in place; you won't see it because it sits underneath the panel. Pull the panel off in the front and then slide it forward so you don't break it, like I did.
I had the same problem with the wiring harness not coming out;
looked like maybe you could dismantle the whole thing, but I just suspended the panel still attached - you might wanna tie or gaffa to stop it falling and pulling on the wiring.
This vid and another I watched are both for passenger side - lazy buggers!
Especially as driver's side is the most likely to be clipped when parked.
The 3 nuts are something I was very careful with.
I found that I could get a finger through one of the other holes to keep the nut in place in the socket, then slightly tilt it up as I removed them together.
Handle surround is best levered out from the door-hinge end;
both it and the control panel above it need to go forward because they're clipped toward the back (door-latch end) as mentioned by OP.
Main door panel needs zero tools to remove;
just bump upwards on the bottom of it.
I found a lot the door covering inside was unglued - gaffa tape!
And the interior cover over the mirror bolts was gone - I fashioned a makeshift one by removing the old foam seal from the outside of the mirror assembly and cutting it to shape,
then gaffa tape to seal and cover holes.
(But be sure to leave top hole open - the door panel clips in there!)
Only disappointment: Turns out my Explorer has no puddle-light function. 😞
Wow, that looks super easy to get off. 🙂👍
Very pleased to see that the panel just slots in, without a bunch of pine-tree clips or similar to fiddle with and damage.
Also glad I watched this first, otherwise I probably would've been trying to yank it straight out!
Finally something easy to access & fix on my Explorer. 😄
2005 Ford Explorer. Had it off and replaced in 18 minutes. The vid skipped a part but I didn’t need to take the speakers off at all. It was basically plug and play after everything was off. Thanks for the vid.
Minor correction. On my 2002 Explorer the bolts at the bottom and behind the power window switch were too small for a 6mm socket and too large for a 5mm socket. A 7/32" socket was just right.
I just replaced the drivers side mirror on a 2004 Explorer Eddie Bauer. The instructions were perfect - I had three more wire sets to deal with, but no problems. Thank you very much!!!
Alessandra O'Kaitland i eas just wondering if it was the same procedure
Great starter video but I wanted to point out a few differences. I have a 2005 Ford Sporttrac and the video mirrored up to removing the panel. The difference in my vehicle and the videos was my mirror was powered. This meant that I had to remove the speaker so that I could disconnect the motor power/control. Once done, I could remove the mirror and replace with the new mirror.
Thanks! My mirror is all changed out. My door panel clips were different (2002 Explorer Sport), but all is good.
My bolts (2003) are 7/32 and 11mm. Driver's side is just as easy - just mind the auto-mirror adjuster. Beauty 1-2-3 video, tho! I referred to it for both sides of the vehicle. PS your door panel liners look like Rolls Royce liners compared to mine! Total hack jobs. Oh well. She still runs great!!
Thanks for the video. I was able to change my mirror in under 10 minutes after watching.
Thank you for the help. My mother and I replaced the mirror today and was a success
A lot easier than I thought it would be thanks!
Needing to replace my passenger mirror on my Sport Trac, this video will prove very handy. Thanks! I'm going to purchase the mirror from you guys, too.
Great video. 2005 Explorer and the only difference was 7mm screws at bottom of door panel and they didn't fully tighten. Start to finish 18 min.
Perfect video. Help me get the job done in less than 15 minutes.
Excellent instruction! Worked perfectly on my Ford Explorer 2004. Thanks for posting.
Thank you this is my mail vehicle and those mailboxes are torcher for passengers side mirrors, I told my brother that I was going to look it up on U tub but he looked it up before I had a chance, so I looked it up and I told my husband I was going to try to change it out, he said don’t get it all apart where I couldn’t get it back together before night falls, cause he had to work in the morning, I went out and did it with in about 20 minutes wants I gathered my tools, I came back in a he asked if I got it and I replied yes, he said it didn’t take long
just did mine and didn't need to disconnect the electrical on the door lock. didn't even take the door panel off, just let it hang until you have the new mirror bolted. thks
is it possible to disassemble the mirror itself and transfer the motor/glass to a new shell? is there a how-to on the net?
Nice video. Can't wait to get my mirror in the mail.
For some reason the replacement mirror I bought for my car does not fit, do I go to a autobody shop or try and buy a new mirror?
Thanks so much. I got it finished in 30 minutes
does the same procedure work for the side mirror with a light on it?
can you help me and tell me what is the fuse for mirrors,in ford Explorer 2004 thanks,
Thank you for the video.
Thanks, just ordered a mirror replacement.
less then 5 min job thank you
would the procedure be the same for the driver's side?
Thanks for sharing..just what i needed
Worked like a charm thank you
Very informative. Thanks for the video.
Stuff a cloth in the door panel incase one of the bolts fall it would be caught by cloth and just lay there so you can retrieve it.
Looks like you pieced together two different videos and put together a lot more than you took apart.
is the procedure the same for tje driver side?
do y'all have a video for 05 expedition? someone took out my mirror today
"now that your done doing whatever it was that you were doing behind the door panel" haha what? why was the foam shield/panel removed all of a sudden anyway? what would I be doing behind there when replacing the mirror?
He dropped a nut...lol
I really wanted this to work for my 2002 Explorer- however the wiring is inside the metal door- completely inaccessible! Very disappointing 😓
EXCELLENT ‼️👍👍
Thanks!!
thks for the video
Thanks a lot. They stole my mirror and the auto glass guy was charging me 120 dollars to replace it. I think is a scam I won’t fall for that any more , every 3 months I have to get a new Mirror it’s crazy
Sound like you need to get out the hood
Can't really see anything because of the caption
👍
Thank yoU!
you must have dropped one of those nuts inside you door?
Thanks for the demo, but this video could have been done in 5 minutes.
idk personally i like him telling me exactly what to do in detail cause i dont know much anything about cars so it is nice to have someone slow and patient
@@Victoria-hp6sf He just wants everyone to know how proficient he is lol..guess that is why he was watching the "how to" in the first place. 😉
OK....So you do this just for fun....;o)...
u also list a 6mm on your tool list, lol
..and corrected himself seconds later.
Poor video, should have zoomed in on the mirror more than the door panel the whole video!
thanks, but we can tell you are not a real mechanic. lol
does the job lol
