How do i fix a wing mirror for a t-reg ford escort estate?

Someone has knocked off the wing mirror to my ford escort estate (T-Reg i think it's the 1998 model?) and it's hanging on by the wires used to operate it. I am going to (attempt) fit it on myself, i was wondering how is this done and how difficult it is for someone with little experiance to fit it? It's a mechanical wingmirror and NOT an electric type. Preferably idiot proof instructions, but any help will be much appreciated.

Thank you very much

MattHow do i fix a wing mirror for a t-reg ford escort estate?Ok I did this once on a R reg Escort.... you will need to find the screw that hold the door inner panel on- from memory two at bottom of panel, maybe two on front and backside. Behind a plastic cover on the door handle is another screw that must come out and aslo behind a plastic cover on the door arm rest thingy. The top bit (where it meets window) has to finally be unhooked off of clips with an upward motion. When the door panel is off the retaining bolts that hold the wing mirror on can be seen on the inside of the door. From here it is simple the three bolts just unscrew and off it comes. The mirror unit comes off with the black triangle bit attached to it as a whole. Refitting the door panel simply involves hooking it back on the upper clips andpushing down then doing the screws up around the panel.



This will only be useful if you want to completely remove the mirror but I hope it helps. In terms of difficulty it is pretty much foolproof. Only difficulties I can envisage is the door panel clips fall off (easy to put back if you can find them on floor) or you lose a screw/s. Basically very very hard to mess up on this one.How do i fix a wing mirror for a t-reg ford escort estate?Get a repair manual or check your local library for one. Get another from a auto wrecker and install your self or take to a local body shop and have them do it.
