How do I remove the passenger rear view mirror from its housing? I don't want to remove the housing - only the glass. It has remote control and a turn signal built in. 1999 F-150 Lariat

Use a small pry bar and pry up on the outside edge of the mirror to dislodge it from the center hub. Be careful not to lift up the mirror too high or the drive pins may unseat from the mirror motor pack.

Use a small pry bar and dislodge the heads of the bottom and inside pins from the back of the mirror.

set the factory mirror on a clean flat surface. Use a small pry bar and remove both friction pins from the back of the factory mirror.

Use the closed end of a 10mm box wrench and seat the friction pins in the top and outside holes on the back of the new mirror.

Also I suggest review this reference guide

I hope helped (reember rated this help) Good luck.

Sideview mirrors dont move certain ways.

I researched the maintenance manual. The fuse you need to replace is fuse 20 in the under dash fuse box. It controls side windows, washer motor, rear view dim function, and possible seat memory. There are a couple that link to the mirrors, but this is the one for this problem.

Electric mirrors stopped working and the fuse and switch are good

check behind the mirror glass there are little plastic rods that are easily broken when mirror gets hit or moved manually. mirror should pop out when pulled carefully by one of corners. be careful not to put to much pressure on the glass when pulling outward

Mirrors will not fold in.

It is a stuck motor. Water gives rust inside housing. Remove mirror and clean motor and components. This is a well known error for H2 mirrors.

Replace side view mirror on Dodge Caravan

You will need to remove the triangular panel on the inside of the door on the opposite side of the broken mirror. Once you remove the panel, you will see the retaining bolts holding the mirror in place. Once you remove the bolts, the mirror can then be pulled out from the outside. Reverse the procedure to reinstall the new mirror.
