Replacement of External Wing Mirror Glass

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

The glass of the external wing mirror is secured to its support via two large side tabs. To attach it, first insert one of the tabs, for example, the inner one, then pull the glass outward to engage the other tab. Ensure that the glass is firmly attached to the support to prevent it from detaching and breaking at the first bump, and activate the internal adjustment system. You may also consider applying silicone for a more secure attachment that is still easy to remove if disassembly is needed.
