2003 EB Passenger Side Mirror Replacement Instructions

[Martin B]

I have a 2003 Explorer EB. The passenger side mirror is broken. It's a
power, heated, with the lamp at the bottom. Textured, black.
I think I have found the right part here:

If I'm wrong, correct me and please steer me the right way.

Second off, I need instructions on how to remove and replace the mirror.
If anyone has those, I would be greatly thankful.

Thanks for all your help!
Martin

I can't tell you for sure on yours but every late model mirror I've
had to deal with you just pull/yank the mirror out, it's in snap in
retainers. The heated ones had a wire you disconnect after they are
loose.

That might prove to be a spendy way to remove a mirror...

Our on line manuals are currently down... but. On the inside of the car is a
small "sail panel" - this is roughly triangular in shape (hence the name
"sail") at the front of the door roughly where the mirror attaches. This
piece generally snaps into place and will cover the wiring and attachments
for the mirror - usually 3 (sometimes 4) studs/nuts. Usually a 7/16ths or
11mm wrench.

I thought he was just talking about the glass part but I see you are
correct, he's referring to a photo of the whole assembly. $55 looks
like a bargain if it the whole thing, motor, mirror and all. It cost
me around $12 just for an unheated mirror glass at the Ford dealer.
