Replacing the External Rear-View Mirror

Model: Ford Focus MK 1 - Years 1998-2004
Part: Side mirror

Replacing the external rear-view mirror is very simple to carry out and does not require special tools or the removal of the door panel: it is sufficient to remove the triangular plastic cover located just behind the mirror housing, unscrew the mounting pins, and take out the mirror by sliding out the adjustment controls. For installation, simply reverse the process, first inserting the adjustment controls into the designated hole, then securing the mirror with the respective pins and repositioning the plastic cover.
