How to Take off the Side Mirror on an F150

The side mirror on a Ford F150 attaches to the side of the door via three bolts molded into the plastic mirror assembly. A small triangular plastic cover hides the mounting nuts that are accessible form the inside of the door. Ford uses this method on all of its late model vehicles, including its popular F150 truck series.

Instructions

    1

    Remove the triangular cover that hides the bolts and wiring harness from the inside of the door panel by pulling it off the door with your hands. The cover is located inside the door on the opposite side of the side mirror.

    2

    Disconnect the two plastic wiring harness connectors that connect the motor inside of the mirror assembly with the mirror control switch. If your mirror is not powered, skip this step.

    3

    Hold the mirror to keep it from falling out and remove the three nuts that secure the mirror to the door with a long-well socket.

    4

    Pull the mirror along with the mirror studs out of the door and slide the new mirror into the door, studs first.

    5

    Hold the mirror in place while you secure it with the three nuts.

    6

    Reconnect the wiring harness. Again, if the mirror is not powered, skip this step.

    7

    Place the triangular cover back onto the door panel and push it into place.
