Is it possible to fix an electric wing mirror easily?
I have a ford fiesta 2007 with electronic wing mirrors. Managed to take the passenger side mirror off but only the plastic, literally no damage to the electronics but can't seem to find just the plastic casing parts so it seems that my only option is to replace the whole mirror. How easy is this to do? I don't want to damage my car more but I also don't want to pay if it's a job that could be done by me (though I'm a novice).
Any advice appreciated as it's due for MOT soon!
Not sure
Replacing the mirror is the easy part. It's taking the inside of the door apart to get to the mounting bolts that's a royal pain… Look for a replacement mirror in a local auto salvage yard.
Cheaper to buy the whole mirror. Check out rockauto.com. Buy a short subscription to alldatadiy.com and print out the directions for removing the door trim panel. Not hard, but you do have to know where the fasteners are and the order they come out.
Once the panel is off, it's a few screws and an electrical plug. Then pop the panel back on and you're done.
I seriously doubt that you have the skills needed to fix this mirror. There are aftermarket mirrors available for your care that will be cheaper than going to a Ford dealer for the part. Installing the mirror isn't usually too difficult and the plugs for the electrical connections are all idiotproof so you could give it a try.
- Why are right-wing freaks spreading conspiracy theories about Brett Kavanaugh's accuser? Already they're pretending Brett Kavanaugh's mother ruled against Dr. Ford's parents in a 1996 foreclosure case. But she actually ruled in favor of them. This reminds me of when Republicans accused Roy More's accuser of forgery until someone burned her house down.
- Should the FBI be investigating Dr. Ford? We can easily see Dr. Ford has changed her story, gave her story to the Media instead of? Standing tall and testifying, refuses to be investigated, deleted her social media account history and emails and has all the earmarks of a Leftist that Hates Trump enough to distort the facts or lie. The FBI has investigated Kavanaugh 6 times, why not Dr. Ford?
- Friend broke wing mirror. How much should I charge him? I own a 1996 ford mustang. My friend was leaning on the wing mirror and it snapped off at which point he apologized profusely. I took it to my local mechanic without telling him and they charged me $140 to fix it. We're both in high school so he obviously doesn't have a large income. How much money should I ask from him?
- Lie Detectors: Polygraphs are garbage and easily manipulated. BUT! Brain scan (MRI) lie detectors are far more accurate. Let Blasey-Ford? ' and Kavanaugh choose to take one of those, only IF the other agrees to as well. And attorneys for both approve the questions.
