Need Help w/Driver Side Pwr Mirror Replacement
Cil
Focus SE. The Chilton's manual procedure looks pretty straight forward but
would like to know if there are any "gotchas" before I attempt.
Also found some web prices in teh $48.00 range, is this average?
One more, what does the (w/o SVT) mean regarding the mirror description?
tia!

It is pretty straightforward. Just make sure you don't drop the 10mm
bolt down into the door, otherwise you'll have to remove the entire
interior panel to retrieve it. There is a small torx screw in the door
jamb that needs to be removed as well. The factory service manual that
I have shows this as being a clip, but on my car it is most certainly a
screw, which can cause you trouble if you are expecting the mirror to
pop off after removing just the bolt.

Sounds like a pretty good price. My local dealer was quoting about
$55+tax recently.

It means that the mirrors fitted to the SVT Focus are of a different
design and thus if you have an SVT, this isn't the part you want.
