SOURCE: How do remove drivers side door panel

First you need to remove the door handle and window crank by pushing back the ring and releasing the handles. Also the arm rest will have screws into the steel door frame that must be removed. The panel itself has plastic snaps that are pushed into holes in the doors steel frame. The trick is to slide a pry bar or even two is better, one on ether side of the clip and force the pin out. You need to be patent and do one at a time. The door panels are made of a less than hard strong material and will brake apart easily especially if they are older. The clips go all the way around the lower three sides and the top will lift off the sill.

    Lift up on the switch plate until it snaps out ,remove the bolt from under there and the bolts along the bottom of the panel. There may be a few others so look around. When all are removed lift up on the door panel(DO NOT pull towards you it will destroy the panel). Your mirror is now accessible.

SOURCE: 2008 Ford Fusion Wing Mirror Replacement

I checked Ford Focus mirror replacement and it seems to be the same. This is for the manual, unheated mirror.

Remove the mirror cover inside the door - slide a screwdriver behind the cover and pry loose carefully.

Remove the single 10mm bolt and the mirror comes free.
NB. Do not drop the bolt into the door.

SOURCE: removing radio from 2008 f250

First you will have to remove the bezel around the radio. This bezel will also be from top to bottom. The bezel is snapped into the vehicle. Pry it out very carfully. Clips will be located at the top, middle, and bottom of bezel. Once snapped out, unplug harnesses so that you can easily work with radio and will help with not scrathing bezel. Once the bezel is out of the way, there will be four screws, 7mm or 9/32 use either socket size, that will be holding radio in place. Remove screws and then pull out radio. Use an aftermarket wire harness to make your installation easier. Install bracket and radio using screws removed and resnap bezel in place.

SOURCE: Replace Passenger Side Mirror on 2002 Ford F-150

On the inside trim, you can remove screws that are by the door handle, arm rest, under door and side of door and then gently pull back on the panel as there will also be retaining clips attached and you don't want to break them. You'll need to lift the door panel upwards in order to get it off the window ledge. Then you'll need to manipulate the panel and disconnect the door handle linkage from the door handle and disconnect the wiring for your controls. Then you can access the bolts that secure the mirror onto the door

How do i remove the wing mirror (power adjust & power fold) on the ford f250 super duty?

Roll the window down first, you will need 2 hands. Pull the small cover off that is at the top front of the door pannel. You will then disconnect the wire connector and remove the three 11mm nuts that are holding the mirror in place. Pull mirror out and replace.

If you dont have just that little pannel you will have to remove the door pannel. If you dont have power windows pull the cover out on the window crank and move it to the side, there will be a screw holding the crank in place. Remove it. If you do have power windows remove the window control switch plate (it will just pop up using a small screwdriver) and disconnect the wires. If equipped, remove the front door trim panel reflector or the courtesy lamp lens. Then remove the screws. DO NOT pull directly outward on the door pannel, something will brake. Remove the front door trim panel by pulling it straight upward.Lift and remove the front door trim panel. Then the nuts holding the mirror will be visible, remove and replace the mirror.

How to replace mirror on 2008 ford explorer

Remove front door inside handle bezel. It should snap off waway from the door. Remove the screws behind bezel. Remove the screws on the bottom of the main door trim panel. DO NOT PULL OUTWARD ON THE DOOR PANEL OR IT WILL BRAKE!! Remove the door panel by lifting the pael upward. at this point you ay have enough room to access the 3 nuts behind the mirror and te mirror electrical connector. If there is not enough room then you will have to disconect the electrical connectors and the door handle linkage on the door panel. if there is eonough room for you then disconect the mirror electrical connector first then remove the 3 nuts behind the miror. the mirror should just pull strait away from the door. Reverse this proceadure to install new mirror. This is the same for left or right side.

2. Pry off power window switch panel and remove door panel screw at this area.
3.Remove interior door light cover and remove screw at this area.
4. Remove plastic cover at door handle.
5. The interior door panel can now be lifted up to release it from it's fasteners.
6. Disconnect light and push power window switch assembly through the door panel and it can be set aside.
7. Disconnect mirror power at coupler.
8 Loosen three mirror mounting screws with 7/16 socket. DO NOT unscrew completely.. the will fall down the door cavity. Use a round magnet on holder to remove the screws completely.
9.Thread electrical connection into door panel and install mirror.
10. Smile when mirror works and drink a beer!
