How install side view mirror on a Ford F-150 (2004-2008 models)
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
How-to install side view door mirrors on Ford F-150 models 2004-2008. This pick-up is an '07 crew cab. The process is similar for newer F-150 models.
The whole installation process takes about 25 min.
I have received comments from users who say this method is similar to removing the side view mirrors on the newer F-150 models.
Socket sizes needed: 11mm, 8mm, 6mm, and 5.5mm
You might also need some some sort of prying tool to remove plastic nuts at 2:24.

Excellent video, no loud music or wasted words, just what I needed to replace my mirror today !
My son and I just used this to change out the driver's side power mirror on my 2007 Ford F150, and it worked like a charm. Thanks for the video brother. People like you make a lot of people happy.

+Carl Love Just got done changing the same one. This video was straight to the point.
I've used this video twice now. Best one on KZread. Thank you! Shop wanted $300+ I bought the part online for $70.
Wonderful! Who needs a dealership repairman when we have videos like this on youtube. As was said before. Saved me $ on labor. I bet car dealers hate these videos. If their rates were not so high we would not need this video. Thanks for the creation and posting!
Excellent instructions. Worked for my 2007 lariat with power, heat, turn signal, and auto dim. Saved a lot of time and money! Just make sure you get a feature equivalent or compatible replacement mirror.
Very helpful. Step-by-step. Used this video to change mine out on 2005 F150 in 15 minutes. Thanks!
My 04 was dead on with the video. 25 minutes start to finish!! Can't thank you guys enough, much appreciated!
this just saved me a $100+ trip to the shop thank you
Awesome video! I changed both mirros to towing mirros in 1hr and WOW what a difference.
Very helpful, had to do both mirrors 1 year apart. Thank you.
Nice video, got straight to the point. Fixed my mirror in about 15 minutes
great video. not sure why anyone is complaining about this video, if you messed it up after this very clear description then it is obviously user error. thanks for taking the time to make this!!
Great video. NOTE for those with manual window crank: window handle cover pops off to reveal a recessed T15 Torx screw which holds the window crank. It was set too deep for my Torx bit holder, but I started it out by holding the bit in a Vise-Grips.
Just replaced my mirror with your guidance, didn’t have one problem, thanks for your help!
Followed the video. Worked perfectly for my 2005 F150. Took about 30 min. Thanks so much for the vid.

Your video was very helpful in replacing my driver side power mirror. Only took about 30 min. Awesome help! Thanks guys!
thanks guys....i watched video and then outside and installed my new mirror. I had no clue how to do it but after watching the video....it was a piece of cake. WORD
Thanks for the video. Saved me $88 for the shop to install it.
Thanks for this. Saved me a ton of time and headache! Simple process (except I wish I had a hook nosed pliers for those plastic speaker extensions).
Great job guys, thanks to your video took me about 20 min. Felt like I've done it before.
I just upgraded my2004 lariat edition side mirrors. This video was great!
huge thanks, had to do this outside in freezing -11C. Perfect details had that sucker switched in no time. Note to all, when putting the door panel back on watch you dont pinch the wire harnesses :P
Perfect simple video. Thank you sir.
30 minutes on the nose. thank you very much
thank you!! just saved myself $500+ to have the dealer do it.
One Thing, The plastic screw holders, I did not have a pair of bent tip pliers to get behind them, so I went behind the holder and with a solid piece of metal on the back of the holder I pushed the plastic screw holders towards myself, and they popped right out. Thanks Again!
Thanks for a good video. Made the job go without a hitch. Everything was exactly like it says.
I wish you had gone all the way with the mirror replacement, but thanks for the video it will be helpful.
thanks for this video I forgot about that bolt behind the window switch and door locks 😂😂
Thank you for the video. It was exact!! I really appreciate it!

thanks for the help :)
Took about an 45 minutes for me on my 2004 F150. Only thing different from video was there was another nut I had to loosen that was connected to the mirror. Other than that, it was pretty simple. Thanks.

Where was the nut? I can't get the mirror off after removing the 3 nuts.

Ronald Rivera I believe there's 4 nuts. It's been a few years since I did it.

I found the 1 nut I needed to remove behind panel in middle near others. It was pretty hidden. Read through all of comments on this post and a couple people mentioned it wasn't mentioned in the video. So I searched again and it stood right out.! The video was awesome but the comments truly helped too. Thanks! Holly
thanks for the vid... took only 15min for me
Thank you for the video!! I was wondering, where did everyone get their replacement mirrors from? I need a passenger side mirror for my 2007 f150 supercrew, and I don't want to go to the dealer, because for my ford explorer that is 10 years old, they wanted $183 for one mirror. no thanks... went on ebay, got one for like $12 but it wasn't heated and when i drove fast on the highway it shook. lol any suggestions for this one?
yeah, got as far as the bottom screws and i have no idea about that handle panel. Took the speaker panel off, saw a screw attached to the speaker, looked like it was screwed into the speaker as well, didn't want to mess with that. Was out of ideas. No instructions on a 2009+ F-150 anywhere on the net...
Were these power folding mirrors.?
is this the same for a powered,heated and turn signal mirror?
is this the same process for the drivers side also?
might try this dad just clipped a f 250 his mirror was fine can this work on a 03 f150? I got next to no experience working on cars but i would love to save my dad some cash.
Good information... but maybe a little tough with the screwdriver
is it still the same for a 2010 f150
your shirt is very blue!
Can a 2006 model mirror work on a 2008 model ? Anyone please help with that question ?
Can someone do me a huge favor? Can someone measure the bolt pattern on the mirror ... From side to side and up and down from the middle of the bolt.. Im trying to buy some tow mirrors for my 2001 f150 super crew they don't make tow mirrors I don't mind doing some modification but I really don't want to drill new holes please someone help
hmmmm, mine's a 2011... wonder how much mine will differ...
Aw uck this!
❤😅
should be, may not be the exact same but should be pretty close.
I liked "First, remove these two screws" and drops one in the gravel. How about First you park on some pavement, or spread a towel to keep from losing small parts.
Worked perfectly until...after removing the nuts on the old mirror, the mirror will not pull out. The stud on the top doesn't seem to want to come out.

There's another bolt and nut you have to loosen. It was inside the door panel. I had the same trouble removing the mirror.

Where is the other bolt and nut you're referring too as I can't get the mirror off after removing the 3 nuts.

Found the last but hidden behind the panel. Then the mirror pulled right off. New aftermarket mirror I spent $43 for off Amazonia prime works great. Blinker and motor all work. This was for a 2004 Ford. f-150 XLT 5.4L
You didn’t show the hard, putting the panel back on!
LOL
