How can I install a new side mirror on my Ford Explorer?

★ Top Answer

There are various reasons why you might need to change the side view mirror on your Ford Explorer. The most budget-friendly option is to search for a replacement at a salvage yard instead of buying a new one from Ford, which can be costly. To install the new mirror, you will require a few basic hand tools such as a flat head screwdriver, A7 and 11mm socket with an extension, and a ratchet. The first step is to remove the door panel by prying off the handle covering and disconnecting the switch pod. After that, take out the 7mm screws securing the panel to the door frame, typically there are six screws. Once the door panel is off, remove the three 11mm bolts that attach the mirror to the door, which will allow you to take off the mirror. Finally, simply retrace these steps to install the replacement mirror.
