How to Refit the External Wing Mirror

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

If you need to fit the external wing mirror (non-motorised), this video may be useful; unfortunately, it only illustrates the part related to fitting the new mirror, while it does not explain the procedure for removing the mirror to be replaced. In any case, with a bit of practical sense and some intuition for the parts of the procedure not covered by the tutorial, you can save quite a bit of money by only purchasing the mirror, even from a competitor, without resorting to a body shop. The vehicle in this video is a Ford Focus.
