# If only 1 mirror suffers the disability, or is "horizontally challenged", then the problem is in that mirror's internal gears (not that there are 'external gears')

# If BOTH mirrors are challenged, then the problem is in the switch. I'd check local salvage/junk yards for parts first

How to remove only the side mirror and not the housing from a 2004 Tahoe?

The mirror will pop out of the housing. It is very difficult to do but it can be done. If yours is broken I would recommend buying a new housing and mirror off eBay. If you can find just the mirror you are lucky. Anyway, the back of the mirror looks like plus sign +. The mirror is attached using 4 screws that are on the tips of the +. To move the mirror the motor screws in or out. Move the mirror to the extremities and the pry each side out one by one. If you pull hard enough on the mirror you can get the screws to come out. So...if you are lucky enough to find a mirror then you will need to be lucky enough not to completely strip the motor when you pry out the mirror. It's really easier to install a new mirror I promise. To install a new mirror just remove the triangle piece on the interior and then unbolt and disconnect the wiring.

How do you repair side mirror glass only on a Windstar?

To learn how to remove and replace any car or truck mirror, go to the how to install a car mirror page atwww.auto-glass.com/carmirror.htmYou can also order any mirror from 1946 to present dayI have seen both entire mirror housings and just replacement mirrors on e-bay. There are affordable choices also for the mirrors with the integrated heating element and the ones with the built-in turn-signal / open door lights.One of my 2001 Windstar mirrors pieces came loose and I found it was attached with simple double-sided foam tape. $3 later, it was firmly back in place and I still have enough tape for another 20 or 30 mirror fixes.Mine did the same thing, and with a bit of simple double-backed / sided sticky tape fixed it.Gently pry the mirror totally away, clear off the remaining sticky tape, apply new tape and reattach.Our 98' Windstar had a cracked driver's side rear-view mirror. The local Ford dealership said you have to replace the ENTIRE mirror assembly and wanted $325 to do so--a bit ridiculous when only the glass is cracked!! Took the car to an auto glass shop and they ordered and then replaced the glass mirror for a bit under $20. Some dealerships must think that the average customer has only a single digit IQ.I don`t know the exact procedure for replacing the glass but I can offer this. It is even easier to replace the mirror itself and cheap, by going to the scrap yard to get one. Remove the screws at the bottom of the door panel. lift up panel, unplug electrical housings. remove mirror-replace mirror. Follow same steps in the other direction to put panel back on.I had to replace the mirror on a Passenger side 1998 Ford Winstar a few months ago. The glass mirror fell off. Turns out, you have to replace the mirror assemble. It is made up of the glass mirror, and the black plastic backing that the mirror is glued to. If memory serves, the cost is about $35. The black plastic assembly simply clips into place. Go buy the replacment. It's easy to figure out.An even better buy on a complete mirror ($45 shipped) at this e-Bay store: http://stores.ebay.com/AutoPartsAvenue. Mirror came very well packed and protected. The glass mirror alone costs around $25, then you have to figure out how to attach it.I bought a complete side mirror from a store on EBAY, and had great luck. Check out their listings: http://stores.ebay.com/am-autopartsFord dealer.Any junk yard should carry them. Mine fell off on my 98 Windstar and it cost $65.The local Ford dealer suggested Binswanger Glass. They ordered it and installed it (not hard, but a bonus) the same day for $35.
