Tools required for the installation are: 7/16″, 5 mm & 9/32″ sockets, a small screw driver, electrical tape and a sharp tool for cutting a hole for the in/out switch. Model 8005TK will also require a volt meter.
REMOVAL OF EXISTING MIRROR:
1. Remove the trim panel on both doors (note - Ford doors do not have retaining clips located around the doors as other models have). To remove the trim panels, start by removing the trim panel on the front side of the window. Remove the plastic panel that holds the electric windows and door locks (to remove this panel pry up from the front or tip of the panel). After you have removed the plastic panel unscrew the 9/32″ screw seen in the back of the hole. Remove the plastic cover from the door light, behind the plastic cover remove the 9/32″ nut head (See diagram 1). To remove the door panel, lift up and unplug the door light.
The plastic panel that holds the switches for the door locks and window switches can be moved down through the hole that it rests on. To unplug the stock mirrors, remove the speakers on each door using a 5mm socket (make sure that each window is in the down position before unplugging the electric window socket) and you will find the mirror wiring in the door behind the speakers.
2. While supporting the mirror, use a 7/16 socket to remove the 4 nuts that hold the stock mirror in place. The 4 stock nuts will not be reused.
3. Remove the stock mirror.
MOUNTING POWER VISION MIRRORS:
1. With the hardware provided for Power Vision mirrors are eight mounting bolts (four for each side). The bolts included are specific for the Ford mounts in this install kit
2. While supporting the mirror, align the body mount with the mirror mount lines on the vehicle door. There will be a hole in the mirror mount area on the vehicle door to run the mirror wire through. Caution - extra care may be necessary to properly align the mount to the door to avoid gaps that may occur. Make sure everything is properly aligned before tightening down the four mounting bolts. The four mounting bolts should be tightened evenly. Be careful not to over tighten the bolts to avoid damage to the mount and or bolts.
