Hi, I'm Don from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.
In this video, we're going to show you how to replace the side mirror on this 2004 Ford Crown Victoria. We show you on the passenger side, but the driver side is a similar procedure. The items you'll need for this are a new side mirror from 1AAuto.com, a flat blade screwdriver, 7mm socket and ratchet, T30 Torx bit, 7/16"? socket, Phillips screwdriver, pliers, and a razor blade.
Using a flat blade screwdriver, pry up the switch panel and then pull directly up. Then, push the tab on these harnesses and disconnect both of them. Pry out this panel behind the door handle and then, remove the T30 bolt. We'll just fast forward as Don does this. Now, lining the outside of the door panel, there are three 7mm bolts. Just go ahead and remove each of those. Pry off this triangular panel and then remove this 7mm bolt in here. Now, you can lift the door panel up and off. Next, you want to remove your speaker. Just remove these three Phillips screws. We'll fast forward as Don does this. Pull your speaker out, and push the tab on the harness and pull it free. Pull back your water shield.
Now, you want to peel this panel off and it will peel until it gets to the clip at the bottom. You can try to pull the clip out just by hand. We end up using a pair of pliers to pull that out. Then, using a razor blade, you just want to cut little X's into where you can feel that there are holes and then push it through. Now, you can remove these three 7/16"? nuts. Now, push the harness clip through and then pry out on the tab and pull the harness free. Now, you can pull your mirror up and out.
On the right is the old side mirror; on the left is the new one from 1AAuto. You can see they're identical and they'll mount exactly the same. Feed the harness for your mirror through and then push the studs through the door. We'll fast forward as Don replaces those three 7/16 nuts. Reconnect your harness and push that clip back into the door and then replace your water shield.
Reconnect your speaker. Push it back into place and then, replace those three Phillips screws. We'll just fast forward as Don does this. Now, push that clip back into the door and push that panel into place. Now, to replace your door panel, put those lower hooks into place, and then push your harnesses up through that switch panel hole. Then, line up those other hooks and push the door panel back and down over that lock rod and down into the window seal. We're just going to fast forward here as Don replaces the three 7mm bolts along the outside, the 7mm bolt inside the door panel, and that T30 bolt. Replace that triangular panel. Replace that panel behind the door handle and reconnect your harnesses. Put the back end of the switch panel in first and push down the front, and you're all set.

Hi, I'm Mike from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out. Next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.
In this video, we're going to show you how to replace the driver's side mirror on this 2000 Grand Marquis. It would be the same for the Grand Marquis for the passenger's side. Also, a similar process for all the Ford Crown Victoria as well as the Mercury Marauder. There are some differences in how you remove the door panel for different years, but it's pretty much the same procedure. Tools you'll need are flat blade screwdriver, Phillips screwdriver, needle-nose pliers, and an 11mm deep socket with a ratchet.
Start with a flat blade screwdriver. Carefully pry up your switch panel here in front. Then I just pull back and forth. I'm pulling up with this hand and just shaking it back and forth. It comes up and out, and then you go in with your flat blade screwdriver, pry up here and take off your mirror switch. Then make sure you can kind of move these connectors; then there's just little tabs that lock them on. Move that one. Pry up on the other side. Pry out down here and pull out on this connector to get it started. Pull with my finger on this one. Right there. Carefully go in, and these are just little caps, pry that one out. If you go in from the bottom, if you do scratch something it's more difficult to see. Then right here, put your screwdriver in up top. You can actually see a little space where the screwdriver goes and pry this bezel out.
Now there's five Phillips screws to remove. One there, one there, and there, one right there, and then one right down here at the bottom. Now, I'm going to fast forward as I remove those five screws. They're obviously easy to remove because they're just screws, but they do try and kind of stay in there, so as you're pulling them out, or as you're turning them counter clockwise, you might have to kind of reach in with your fingernail and pull them out. Otherwise, just make sure that if you can't get them out of the panel, just make sure that when you pull the panel off, and if you drop them, you just recover them before you go to the next step.
Once you have those screws out, then just lift up on the panel and bring it out. On the back side there's two connectors. Pull back on a couple of tabs here. Disconnect that and then pull up on this tab and disconnect that, and your door panel is off. Just fast forward. Use my Phillips screwdriver, remove three screws that hold the speaker in place, remove it, unplug it, and it allows you to pull your water shield down. For your mirror there's this panel here. It's held in by a clip here. What you can do is pry it off and pull on that clip. Pull it out some so you can get your pliers in behind to pry it out, and this pulls up and off. Pull this down if you want to. Your lead then connects right back in here.
If you feel, you'll feel a tab that you push with your thumb, then pull the lead off. It's down in there like that. It's just a little tab, push down with your thumb, pull it out. You'll need an 11mm, and you'll need a longer or a deep socket and then there's three nuts right here. I'm going to fast forward here as I remove those three nuts. Just one word of warning, as you're taking the nuts off just try and keep them in the socket and pull them out just so you don't drop them down into the door. If you do drop them down into the door, it's not a big deal. You can reach down in there through the speaker hole.
Once you have the bolts out, the mirror just sticks on here a little bit. Pull it up and off and feed the connector back up and in. The mirror's off. Your new mirror from 1A Auto, it's going to have this exact same connector. It comes with a black back. Obviously, you can put it on, install it as it is, and it'll make a great functional replacement. If you wanted to paint this cover to match, you can do that. You can be as crude as just going to your local hardware store and finding a color that matches. Or if you want a better match, if you want to find an automotive parts store that has a paint department, usually using your VIN, they can help you find your color code, and they can mix up some paint to match. Put it in an air-charged spray can and you can finish it to match your car better.
Obviously, it's going to install just like the original. You'll first put your lead down in. You want to kind of feed it into the leader and then right straight down. Make sure it comes out, and it's on the inside of the window channel. Then put your mirror in place. I usually put the mounting nuts right into the socket. Put it in and start them on. I'll speed it up here again as I just start the three mounting nuts on there and then tighten them up. When you tighten them up, you want them nice and firm, but don't over tighten them. You could break the mirror. I'll put this back in place. Put that on. Pin back in. Take your harness connector and peek right in there and plug it back together.
Just a test real quick. We can plug our mirror switch back in, turn the key on, and make sure that the mirror is working. It is. Put your water shield back up in place and reinstall the speaker, make sure you reconnect the speaker first. Then use the three Phillips screws to remount it. Your door panel is designed with hooks on the bottom. You want to lift up your harnesses, and you can see that the bottom hooks clip on and you can put your trunk opener, plug that in. Put this upper plug in. Lift your door panel up. Make sure that these harnesses are coming up through. Make sure your door lock comes through. Lift the panel up a little bit and then it just slides right down on.
I'm going to speed it up here as I put the five Phillips screws back in. The long ones go through the panel, the shorter ones go through that door pull. Just another tip, if you have trouble getting one in, you might want to take the panel back off. On some of them there's clips in behind and sometimes those clips can get shifted, which makes it hard to get the screws in, but they should all pretty much go right in. Reconnect our harness leads and our mirror switch, then just work this right down in. Push it against the door and down in. This goes right in, locks in place. These go back in place.
