2004 - 2008 Ford F150 General discussion on the 2004 - 2008 Ford F150 truck. Changing glass in side mirrors? Senior Member Thread Starter
Join Date: Aug 2013 Location: Knoxville, TN Posts: 335 Folks, I have busted the glass mirror on my passenger side stock mirror. Otherwise, the turn signals and heat work fine (the mirror is cracked but still in). Is there any way to replace *just* the glass mirror and not the whole mirror assembly? Thanks for looking. B

It'll pop a lot but tip it in fully up top. A big gap will show on the bottom and if you flash a light there or look hard enough, there is a slot about the width of a flat blade screw driver. Get a nice long flat blade, fit it into the slot, push up into it a bit and twist the screw driver so it separates the glass mounting tabs from the mirror motor mount. There is another slot on the bottom, closer to the door. Do the same here. Once the glass is separated enough from the mount, work the flat blade between mounting tabs until the glass pops free from the motor mount. When installing the new glass, line up the tabs on the back of the new glass with the motor mount on the mirror assembly and with the palm of your hand, firmly push evenly on the glass while using your other hand to brace the back of the mirror assembly so that doesn't move either. You can apply a good amount of force on the glass and it won't break. If the mirror shakes and blurs the vision when driving, you didn't pop all of the tabs on properly. Try pushing harder.
