Hi Curt, Glad it will help, by the way, I recut this video and removed the breaking glass transitions to help clarify the repair, it's the same video just easier to follow it's on my channel, so watch that one. Last week I had a large bird smash into the other mirror at highway speeds, lot of damage to the mirror but I manage to repair and save the price of a new mirror, I'll have a new video in a couple of days with lots more detail. Thanks for watching and commenting, it's much appreciated. P.s. I post updates, previews, and other random stuff on Instagram #southernengineering
I just replaced the passenger side on mine after watching this video. It was extremely helpful. As you said in the video when taking it off and the plastic starts cracking you get a little nervous. I had to take out my courtesy light to put the housing back on after plugging in the replacement turn signal. it was easy because it just pops in from the outside. Thanks for a great tutorial. I have a feeling I will be replacing these again.
Thanks for the vid. I have a 2017 F-350 Larait and found mirror assembly's are close if not identical. Someone had a wooden pole sticking out of a trash can just at the right angle and it nailed the light and broke it. A buddy of mine manages parts at a local ford dealer and he got me the part next day and printed out fords instructions on how to replace. It was 5 pages of garbage. You video helped me change in about 15 minutes. Thanks again
Just did this myself. Thank you for the video. You see where you struggled at 11:20? Mine would not go back together without taking the puddle light out. I took the puddle light out, leaving the wire for it sticking out of the hole, then plugged it in and snapped it into place once the housing was back together. Thanks again. Excellent video.
I posted this video nearly 2 1/2 year ago, It was the first video I ever made and posted on YT and the editing shows. SO for those that need this information, I am reposting the new video re-edited on 4-27-19. I hope that helps. STAY TUNED
Thanks for the how-to. Came in handy in my efforts.... Couple of points... Once you get a few of the clips off the glass, plug it back in and move the glass a bit. I found when i did that, the clips just came right off.. Secondly, whatever you do, DO NOT lose or damage the puddle light. I was quoted over $160 to buy that part.... :( It is truly criminal.
Got the job done, only have to get a couple of clips undone and the mirror pop's out. Going back together was tough, unless you take the puddle light out, you can install when everything else is together, just some more thoughts, but once again you video was great!
Thanks for the kind response. I'm still learning this TH-cam stuff, making this video was harder than repairing the light. Sorry it took me so long to respond. we went one vacation.
Thanks, David I appreciate that. I had taken a little flack for the transitions in the video so after almost 2 1/2 years I decided to recut the original footage, I think it came out better. If your looking for a how-to the other version is a little better.

They now sell a set of aftermarket lights for $55.00 Look better than stock too!!! Good video. I just purchased a 19 SD Lariat. Have one on driverside, cracked as well. Thanks.
Thanks for the info, I broke the other side lamp a few months ago, seems it was about $175 from Ford; Now that a cheaper one is available I bet I'll never break another one. Thanks for watching and the info, hopefully, someone will notice it.
@@freespirittransport5139: Thanks. I looked on E-bay, but the cheapest turn-signal with the spotlight is $105, I did find the basic turn signal for $45 If you can send me the link I will post it for the next soul looking to save some money. Thanks again.
Thanks for the video and detailed description. I just had to replace the same light (right side) on my 2015 Platinum. The video was clear and easy to follow. Took me about 20 minutes (and like you $$$) start to finish. Glad I didn't have to replace the entire mirror assembly $1,250!!!
Thanks, it's my first official TH-cam video. I went to Ford for the fix and was shocked what they wanted to fix it. How do you like the Platinum? Was it worth the difference in price?
It's my 2nd Platinum. I love the truck, I'm a gadget head, so all the bells and whistles are nice. and my wife who is 14" shorter than I am loves the retractable running boards. One thing I did was to add an powered bed cover from Retrax. A push of the button and it opens and closes, and locks into any position you stop it in. It makes it much easier to back an empty boat trailer down a steep ramp when you can get the entire bed cover out of the way and see the trailer out of the rear window (with the tailgate down, of course).
Oh man - I have a cracked one as well. This will save me install costs on my F250 SD Lariat.. apparently the same mirror components. Thanks for the information!
That's great to hear Ryan, thats why I posted it. Make sure you watch the updated video, I removed all the annoying transitions and added a little more of the original footage for clarity.

Great video, had a broken light also from a touch less car wash, touch less, but the sprayer arm came over just enough to crack it.. Got the bottom mirror out, but having trouble with the top. Getting the little clips to release. Any hints? Are you picking at the tip of the clips? Thanks again!
Sorry for not responding sooner, been out of town. I assume you have solved the problem, The clips are delicate, I should have shown more detail on that.. Thanks for watching..
Hi Art, Yes I know, I was born and raised in South Central Florida, my mom was a midwest English teacher and my grandparent's German emigrants, 🙄 one slip with a colloquial term picked up from friends and POP right on the lips. While my heart is in the South and I can, from time to time, slip into a more relaxed conversation with close friends, my common vernacular in midwestern English, I guess that makes me Bi-lingual. 😁 Thanks for watching and commenting, I do appreciate it.
I feel kinda nervous having the bedliner company that damaged just this piece replace this part. Do you think removing the glass is difficult? I want to do this myself. By the way I have both a 2015 F-150 that coincidentally also has the scuffed plastic and my brand new super duty that they scuffed the plastic. I was pretty disappointed. 70K truck and they damaged this piece. They ordered the part for me but I don’t even feel comfortable with them doing replacing it. Any advice?? Great video, thank you!
The mirror glass is not difficult but be warned, you break it and game over, at the time I made this video Ford did not offer a replacement mirror glass, that means a complete new mirror assembly ~$600. Just take your time and you'll be fine. Hope that helps... Let me know how it does... And, thanks for watching...

Wow you have more balls than I do LOL, one of those plastic clips break and it wouldn't be good. I just noticed on my Taurus SHO 2015 that has Bliss, heated and electric mirrors my passenger side wiggles left to right. Annoys the hell out of me apparently a lot of Ford vehicles have this problem.
Hi Jeff, LOL, nope just 2 😁 I was very concerned about damaging the mirror beyond repair, I had one replaced under warranty and Ford charges $1400.

Thanks for watching and commenting, I appreciate it. P.s. I post updates, previews, and other random stuff on Instagram #southernengineering
If you by chance still have it. Do you know what part number this was? My mirror got hit while stopped in a turn lane and now I need to replace this part.
I Love it. I have a '16 XLT with a 3.5 eco and all the available upgrade and already have 31k on the truck. Also i was able to find the right part number and order it. Should be here in a couple days! Just hoping i can get the main mirror glass out without breaking any of those clips.
Just be patient with the clips, the plastic is still new so it's not brittle yet. I was also worried about the mirror but no problem. Use a flat blade screw driver to remove the spade lugs so you don't over stress the connections (@ 5:10 mark). If you see corrosion on them use a little Anti-Ox paste on them when you reassemble. Have fun. I have 33K on mine and I'm going to do a 2 year review next week, nicest truck I have owned with just a few nit picks. Looking forward to the new Bronco next year, planning to replace my Wife's Jeep Commander (worst Jeep Ever); I do hope they include the 5.0l Coyote engine in it, I love it... Thanks for responding

Hi Angel. I had a big dent/chip/crack in the other mirror and the Ford guy just popped off the old one and popped on a new one, I was not paying attention at the time but I seem to remember he did it in less than 5 min.

Boasts about his $50k truck but can't afford a maintenance manual and goes at his side mirror with a screw driver hoping not to break it. Great entertainment.

@@SouthernEngineering I smacked a mail box with mine and broke the front casing along with the light. I wonder if anyone makes the outer plastic pieces? Mine has a camera and it is a $1k I dont want to spend.
Ouch! I don't understand why Ford would not make the shell piece available. Two weeks ago I had a large bird smash into my passenger-side mirror, I was going 80ish and he hit it head-on. Broke the top and bottom mirrors, the clearance, spot, turn light Asm. the chrome top cap, cracked the shell and popped out the puddle light. All the replacement parts were available but the shell for the modest price of $520ish. I managed to repair the shell and made it look like new, I videoed the process but was not sure if I wanted to post one, if your interested in how it was done I can edit a video and post it.
@@SouthernEngineering That would be a cool video. Likely applicable to many other plastic part fixes! I guess I will have to bite the bullet for a new mirror. But my glass, puddle light and camera are all good. Seems like a waste. DNA motoring makes a complete powered mirror assy for under 300 bucks. Might be able to modify it to work. I hate paying full price!
I'm with you, frugal with my $. I checked out the Amazon mirrors, they look like a close match, wondering out-loud, you may be able to purchase a basic mirror and swap the from shell? Since it's way too hot to work in the yard today I'll work on that video, with any luck I'll have it ready for tomorrow.
Glad it was helpful, thanks for watching. P.s. I re-edited the video to correct the transitions, it has a little more detail and a lot of transitions corrected.

I hope you consider following me, as I get my shop updated I will be working on Truck, Jeeps and other stuff, plus my video skills are improving.
P.s. I post Updates, Previews, and other random stuff on Instagram @ southernengineering
Boasts about his $50k truck but can't afford a maintenance manual and goes at his side mirror with a screw driver hoping not to break it. Great entertainment.
The mirrors are $1000
Hi QB, I was not clear, The dealer told me $1400 Installed, but I believe they are around $1k, still a pricy component. I re-edited the original video and removed the breaking glass transitions to improve clarity.Thanks for watching and commenting.P.s.

@@SouthernEngineering I smacked a mail box with mine and broke the front casing along with the light. I wonder if anyone makes the outer plastic pieces? Mine has a camera and it is a $1k I dont want to spend.
Ouch! I don't understand why Ford would not make the shell piece available. Two weeks ago I had a large bird smash into my passenger-side mirror, I was going 80ish and he hit it head-on. Broke the top and bottom mirrors, the clearance, spot, turn light Asm. the chrome top cap, cracked the shell and popped out the puddle light. All the replacement parts were available but the shell for the modest price of $520ish. I managed to repair the shell and made it look like new, I videoed the process but was not sure if I wanted to post one, if your interested in how it was done I can edit a video and post it.
@@SouthernEngineering That would be a cool video. Likely applicable to many other plastic part fixes! I guess I will have to bite the bullet for a new mirror. But my glass, puddle light and camera are all good. Seems like a waste. DNA motoring makes a complete powered mirror assy for under 300 bucks. Might be able to modify it to work. I hate paying full price!
I'm with you, frugal with my $. I checked out the Amazon mirrors, they look like a close match, wondering out-loud, you may be able to purchase a basic mirror and swap the from shell? Since it's way too hot to work in the yard today I'll work on that video, with any luck I'll have it ready for tomorrow.

Friggin broken glass transition so irritating!...smfh🫣😑
I gotta do this too. This helps a lot. Thanks
Glad it was helpful, thanks for watching.
P.s. I re-edited the video to correct the transitions, it has a little more detail and a lot of transitions corrected.
