Hi, I’m Mike from 1A Auto. We’ve been selling auto parts for over 30 years!
Open the door. To remove the master window switch we're going to use the plastic trim tool. You can get these from 1AAuto.com. Otherwise, you'd have to use a flat bladed screwdriver, and you could damage your trim with the hard metal. These are nice, soft plastic, and then kind of get underneath here, it's a little tight fit, and kind of slide it to the middle. There's a clip, we're going to push in this way, and at the same time pry up to pull the master window switch out of the door panel. Put this aside here. Now you can unlock the connector. There’s a tab here, push down and pull out on the switch to pull it out. Put the master window switch aside.
We need to remove this little door handle pull. This little pocket here, where your hand goes. Use the plastic prying tools to kind of go underneath to kind of catch the metal and then pop it up, just like that, and if this side doesn't come, you have to do the same thing, there's a similar clip, pop it up, pull it out, see what you were doing is you were going underneath, pushing in on this metal tab to unlock it.
To remove this black trim cover, take the plastic prying tool, reach in here, just pop it out, and pull that right out. You need a small flat blade screwdriver to carefully open this little door here to expose the screw that's behind it. Use a Phillips head screwdriver to remove the screw. Take the plastic prying tool, there's a slight opening just above the lock, push the plastic prying tool up, and then pop it up off, pull it down so it pulls down from this one. That needs to go out this way, and then you'll have to move this. So you're unhooking it by going this way, and then you're just feeding it off the lever.
To remove this push clip, actually push in on the center. It unlocks it, and then you can take the other side of your plastic prying tool and get underneath it and pry it right out, then to reuse it. Just push it right back out through, and put that aside. Remove the Phillips head screw that was inside our opening for our little cup here, pull handle, using a Phillips head screwdriver.
The rest of the door panel is held on with clips along the edge. As you pull this off you will need to unplug the courtesy light that should be the only thing that is plugged into the door panel. You just kind of reach underneath, and if you need to, you can use a plastic trim tool, but there's a little bit of a finger hold here I can get it in, get my fingers in, and pull out. And we're going to lift up off of the steel part of the door. The door panel kind of hooks around the top, so lift up and straight out. And the only thing plugged in, I can turn this, so I can see it, is the courtesy light. You’re going to push in on the lock, pull it right out, and we'll put our door panel aside.
To unplug the connector for the power mirror, the lock's right here. Pull the connector straight out. It's also taped to a clip here, just electrical tape. It doesn't want to pull off. Take a razor blade and then carefully just cut it. You don't want to cut the wires if you're going to reuse the mirror. Just pull it off. You can re-tape that afterwards. Get rid of the old tape. I do have the window down. This makes it easier. There is three 10 millimeter bolts holding the mirror to the body, holding the mirror to the door. Use a 10 millimeter socket extension and ratchet. Loosen the bolts. Do this for all three. The passenger’s side will be the exact same procedure.
Now that the mirror's unbolted, you can kind of pull down on it and then lift up and just kind of wiggle it out of place. Guide the wires out. There's some water in there. So there is our door mirror.
This one's in good shape so we will reuse it. Feed the harness through. It fits that way. Push it in place. So that little grommet piece holds it. Get that started and held in place. Now you put the other two in. Tighten down. You're going to tighten that up until you feel it stop. They're just going into plastic. You don't want to over tighten them and break them. Take our new electrical tape. I'm just going to slide it underneath just like that. Put the wire back in place and tape it right in place. Reconnect the electrical connector. It'll snap when it locks in place and your mirror is swapped.
If one of these clips get stuck, you can just take a trim panel tool, pull it in here, pop it out and put it back in your door panel and reuse it. This went in down here—kind of push them in place. Plug in the courtesy light and there we go. The top of the door panel is kind of curved—it's going to hook over the metal frame, so I'm going to start by going up in here. It doesn't matter if the window is up or down. Hang it over it, and then we'll get it in place. Make sure that your master window switch harness is accessible, and now we can push it into place on the clips. It will snap into place. Just go around the door, and push them in place. Put a push clip back in.
Reinstall the screw that was under the door pull handle. Reinstall this door handle pull, the arrow points toward the inside, push it in, just like that. Reinstall this cover. It has a hook that's going to hook into here in the black plastic, so we're going to lift that up and slide it this way. Get it hooked first, and then push this in and we reinstall the screw.
Reinstall this black A-pillar cap. It just slides in place and then snaps in. Put the harness back in. It will click when it locks in place. There's a tab here that will slide underneath, and then this metal tab is going to push into this opening here.
