In this video, we'll be showing you how to replace the outside mirror on this 2006 Ford F150, same as any '04 to '08 F150. The tools you'll need are metric sockets from 5 millimeters to 11 millimeters, for the door panel 7/32 and 5/16 works for some of those, a small flat blade screwdriver and a putty knife and a rag to protect your paint. Okay, to get the mirror off, you do have to remove your door panel. I am fast forwarding it through right here. You can check out our other videos to see how you remove the door panel. You might be able to pick up enough here from this footage. It is a few screws and then you lift the door panel basically up and off. Bear with this for another few minutes and you'll see how to do the mirror. Okay, the mirror is up in here. We're going to pull off this piece of plastic carefully. You don't want to rip it. The harness plug is in here. You put your thumb in there. Push that little tab down there and then pull it out. Then an 11 millimeter wrench.
Okay. Take those off. Then there's another clip holding on top. Okay, here's our broken mirror out. There are two designs, one has this second stud in it. This one happens to be that second design but it goes in just fine. The top here has a clip. Okay, put the mirror in. Clip it. Then lock the bolts on. Then these should be tight but not incredibly tight, probably 20 to 25 inch pounds. This one goes in a little further. Okay. We'll plug it in. Do a test. It works well. Now, we'll put the gasket back on and basically what I like to do is do a reference point here, down there and just stick it all along. Now you can put the door panel on. Okay, just like in the beginning, we're going to fast forward through putting our door panel on. You can check out our other videos if you want to see this in real speed. We hope this helps you out. Thank you very much and think of 1AAuto.com for your parts and needs.
