Hi I'm Mike from 1A Auto. I hope this how to video helps you out. Next time you need parts for your vehicle think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.
In this video we are going to show you how to replace one of the outside rearview mirrors on this 2003 Ford Focus. We show you the driver's side front. The procedure is basically the same for the passenger side front as well. The tools you will need are small and regular size flat blade screwdrivers, a T20 torx driver, a 7mm and 10mm socket. And you will need ratchet and extension. Preferably you will want 1/4 inch drive tools as they are smaller and there is one small space that you have to get in to when you are taking the door panel off.
Okay, on this door, first at the top corner you want to pull your trim out, okay. It should pull. This has already come off. You pull out and then it pulls back and off. Then you can disconnect this. This, take your small screwdriver and then you actually kind of just pry it in here on this side of the connection, pull it out.
Hey, I'm just going to speed it up here. For those screws use a T20 torx bit. Use your T20 torx bit and remove all of them. Okay, you want to pry this off. It's easiest to make it right here then back, pry that out and it comes right off. Okay, go ahead with the 7mm socket, the extension and ratchet. A 1/4mm socket actually works as well. Remove these two bolts. If you notice, I said 1/4 of a millimeter. That's actually a 1/4 inch socket works just as well as the 7mm socket. Now this panel actually, you reach right in here, pull firmly and then up here same thing. You pull firmly. Pull this panel out. Then this disconnects. There's a little tab, it's kind of back behind the wires, push that tab down. Pull that out. Okay. The tab that is right on the back, push it down. And the same thing over here, a couple of harnesses. They just have tabs that you press with your thumbs and pull out. It's disconnected. Now you can just take your panel, pull it out, and pull up and the panel comes off.
To disconnect your mirror harness, there's a little tab that you press in and pull it apart. Carefully pull off this insulator. In the door jam there is another T20 screw to remove. Now there is a 10mm bolt right in here. Take that off. Push this around through and push it through there and pull your old mirror off. Okay, here's my old mirror. New mirror from 1A Auto, just like the old one. The little defrost symbol is a little bit different but it's going to install just like the original. Take that shipping protector off. Put the harness through. Make sure all those little tabs are located, make sure they go in correctly. Just take our socket with the big bolt in it, feed it right through. Lean on it until it's tight. The screw that goes in, has the large washer. Take the little grommet off of our original mirror and put it on our new one, press it into place.
I'm going to fast forward a little bit as I put that insulator back on and make sure you reconnect the power lead to your mirror. Okay, I'm going to fast forward through putting the door panel back together. If you want to see this in regular motion, you can just check out our other videos. Hang the panel back up on the ledge, reconnect the mirror switch, reconnect the window switches and put those trim panels back in place and then put the bolts back in for the door pull. Now I'm going to fast forward as I take those two 7mm bolts, reinsert them into that door pull and tighten them up and then put the trim panel, snap it back into place. You want to put the top in first and then snap the bottom into place. Continue that speed as I just take the 7, there are 7 T20 screws. One goes in the door handle. The rest go around the parameter of the door panel. Put those in and tighten them up. Last but not least, put the little trim panel over the screw in the door handle.

Hey, friends. It's Len here at 1A Auto. Today I'm working on a 2001 Ford Focus, and I want to show you how to do a left front mirror. It's going to be a very easy job and I want to be the guy that shows you how to do it. If you need this or any other part, you can always check us out at 1AAuto.com. Thanks.
Okay, friends. So what we're going to have to do, so we're going to have to remove this little panel right here, has an electrical connector behind there. So when you do pop it off, just make sure you don't go too far. You don't need to pull it all the way out, because, okay. We should actually probably really quick, just make sure we're getting power.
Okay. So we know that it gets power when we install our new mirror. We want to make sure that it works again, obviously. So what I'm going to do, is I'm going to grab this, I'm going to try to pull out this way and then towards the front, because right here there's like little hooks that go this way. And this one right about here has a hook that goes straight in. So I'm gonna grab here, pull out and over. I can show you what I'm talking about. This presses into here, then we've got these little grabbers right on there. Try to set this aside. Right here is our electrical connector.
Just going to use a pocket screwdriver, or you can use your finger--just squeeze right there. Let's see if I can do it. Just push in. And then try to push that to separate it. This connector right here is part of your mirror. It's going to go right, so I'll just push that rubber in. That's going to be ready to go. Okay, so right over here we have a torx bit 20. This is what they look like. It's almost like a little star. Right in the corner. I'm going to go ahead and remove that. Show you what it looks like.
So that's the head. That's the length of the bolt, screw, whatever you want to call it. We'll set this stuff aside. Right on the backside of this, there's a 10 millimeter bolt, and that holds your mirror assembly on. So once you start getting that so it's loose, you're going to want to hold your mirror, so it doesn't fall down, and smash, break into little pieces, anything like that. All you want to make sure you dispose of it properly of course. So I'm going to use a 10 millimeter
Just want to make sure that I get that bolt to stay. Going to grab my small magnet. I'll move that bolt for you. That's what it looks like. Now I'm going to draw this out, just like that. Now we've removed our left front mirror assembly. Easy peasy. So on your old mirror you're just going to grab this little rubber. It's got a little slit for you. We'll take that out. Inspect it. Looks like it's in good condition. Set it aside. We'll recycle this or dispose of it properly. We'll move along.
So here we are. Friends, a quick product comparison for you. Over here we have our original 2001 Ford Focus mirror off the left front door. We just removed it. Over here we have our brand new quality 1 A Auto part. If you spin it, it comes with a brand new seal. That's always really good, you want to make sure you've got a nice seal. You don't want air and everything getting inside your door panel. The original one has it as well. We've got our wiring harnesses, both the exact same, three prong. Super important to make sure those match up.
All the same mounting areas, right. We've got our center hole for the big screw and then this one for the little screw, big screw, little screw. As you could tell, they're both the exact same. This one's just got a little protector on it in case you were wondering what's up with that. Just to protect her for shipping, case it gets dropped and won't break the ear off. They both look the exact same. Like I said, I don't see any reason why this wouldn't be a great part to install onto the vehicle. So I'm going to go ahead and do it. If you need this or any other part, you can always check us out at 1AAuto.com. Thanks.
So now it's time to install our brand new quality 1A Auto part. I'm just going to come around through here. I'm going to bring my wiring through this hole. I'm going to find it when it comes out towards the door panel. Bring it right up now while I can. Here we are. We've got our little rubber grommet here. You just want to press that into the hole while your mirror is still away, it's going to make it much easier. Obviously it will be pretty much impossible if you had the mirror up against it. There we are. Just tug on the slack at the same time as we bring the mirror in.
I'm going to try to line up my holes. There. Right there. We'll get this out of here. It did its job. Thank you. Mirror looks good still. You just want to squeeze along this top corner here, just to make sure that it's in. Once it's in, you should hear it clip in a little bit, and it doesn't want to move at this point. We'll be able to let go. We'll come inside, we've got our big screw. I'm going to use a little pocket magnet, and of course, my tool, just like this. Actually, I'll try it without the magnet first. Just going to come in, try to get my bolt lined up. Hold the mirror.
That's started in. I'm not going to go ahead and tighten it up yet. I want to make sure that I have the other screws started, as well. Super important to make sure you have bolts screws started before you go ahead and tighten anything down. Bolts, screws are started now. We're clear to go ahead and tighten it down. This is just screwing into plastic, so you don't want very much pressure, so I'm going to turn this puppy right down. Not that it's the most powerful anyway, because it's for interior mostly.
Just put that there for now, but I'm going to check outside. It feels like I can go maybe a little bit tighter, so I'll grab my tool. Can do with a ratchet now, see if I can get in here. Like I said, we're just screwing into plastic here. That feels pretty great. I'm going to screw in that center, 10 millimeter. I got it turned way down. I'll just go with the ratchet, that way I can feel it. Get that on the bolt. Now you can wiggle the mirror around while you do this. You should feel like it nice and firm, and all of a sudden your bolt doesn't want to turn anymore. That feels great. Awesome.
We're going to connect this back in. We've got your little area right here that connects into the push clip. Like that. Tuck it away. Going to line up my little squeezy things there. Push those in. Give that a bonk. There we are. I'll grab my key. We're going to check the function. Make sure it's on the left mirror. Looks pretty great. There we are. Easy peasy. Now you just said it so you can see where you need to see, and off you go
