Hi Steve

A mate of mine had a similar problem and he said he got in touch with a place called wingmirrorman.co.uk, They sorted out the bits he needed as he didn't have to replace the whole thing.

You must remove the panel behind the mirror on the inside of the door.It may be a small pop off panel or you may have to remove the entire door panel.Once removed you will see three nuts on the back of the mirror,remove them and unplug the wire.Then reverse the procedure.

This video will show you exactly how to replace the side view mirror on your Taurus">

You shouldn't have to remove the panel, just the black plastic cover right behind the mirror, it holds about 3 or 4 bolts, pull them out and hang on to that mirror, it is heavy, It has cables or wires attached to it. If it is just the glass that is broken, you can pop the glass right out and put in a new piece and don't take anything off. You can even get a new mirror at the grocery store parking lot. Check it out, Hope this helps.

normally, if the mirror glass is broken you can remove this clip from the back or it is still in place and only the glass is out. If the mirror glasses are jumped out the system and you lost it completed, there is a chance to get replacement from the authorized dealership (replacement mirror glasses with attached clips). After marked parts are a great way to save money, but it works not all the time.

Are you venting? What or how can I help you?

Go to a breakers yard or ford, you will have to unscrew & pull off the interior cap on the insde to udo the mirror whole unit & pop the glass out of the old unit by pulling carefully, then disconnect the motor & wiring, then re-fit as dismantled.
Hope this helps, If you can't do it yourself then buy the mirror & take it to a decent garage as they are not hard to replace & the dealership will charge twice as much !
Hope this helps !

go to salvage yard and get another mirror there should be two screws one at the top and one at the bottom then put the new mirror on put the nuts back on and replace panel
