To replace the external wing mirror on a Ford Focus, open the door on the affected side and remove the inner trim near the pillar, gently prying it with a plastic tool to avoid damage. Disconnect the electrical connectors for the wiper, sensors, or heating if present.

Unscrew the bolts or nuts that secure the mirror body to the door, lift the assembly slightly, and remove it. Position the new mirror, tightening the bolts to the correct values, reconnect all connectors, and refit the inner trim until the clips click into place.

Check the correct operation before closing the door.
