Hey Lee==there are screws on the inside of the door.Be careful as there are a lot of sharp edges there. GoodluckJoe

Depending on your state, the legal amount changes from 5% to about 70%. There are also varying limits depending on which windows you use the tint, such as back windows, or front door windows, or even back door windows. Generally, try to stay around 25% at most to be safe.

You have to take the door panel off by a few screws in the trim lift the panel up and pull out and it is a black cylinder

Dude, I've been pulled over for just my tinted windows atleast 4 or 5 times now, and happened to just get a fix it ticket for it this last time. The stops have resulted in one ticket for not having my insurance papers on me, one for the tint, and one huge one for DUI-D that might get my licsense suspended. I recommend not having tinted windows at all, they cause a lot of unwanted attention.

In order to access the 3 nuts to remove the mirror from the door frame, you must first remove the door trim panel. After your remove the door trim panel, disconnect the mirror wiring harness at the unplugging the harness located in the opening near the side view mirror. Remove the 3 nuts attaching the mirror to the door frame. Pull the mirror out from the outside of the vehicle being carefull not to scratch the vehicle finsish with the studs on the mirror. Reverse to install the new mirror onto the door.

FIVE STEPS AND YOUR DONE

I just had to replace my Driver side Mirror, I found it to be very easy here are the steps Approximate time: 15 minutes.

Step 1: loosen two screws you will find one in the hand rest area where you pull the door closed.

Step 2: take out the screw at the inside door handle.

now take a regular/ Flat head screw driver and slide it between the panel and the door find where the plastic pop plugs are get as close to the plugs as you can then pry the panel off the door, you should only have to do this around the front side of the panel.

Step 3: un-plug the electric connector for the mirror.

Step 4: Remove the nuts that attach the mirror to the door this will call for a 10MM driver socket and there will only be 3 nuts to remove.

Step 5 install new mirror in reverse order from above directions.

this took me 15 minutes to do from start to finish it is an easy job even for the beginner.

You need to remove the door card and then the triangular plastic trim on the inside, then romove three torx screw and the movement mechanism and the mirror will come out.

Remove the door handle trim by removing the center screw and pulling out the bezel.Remove the pull handle by inserting a thin flat instrument into the gap between the trim bezel and the handle, it will pop out with a bit of force, remove the two screws in there.There are several screws along the edge of the door, 2 on the inside edge, 2 on the outer edge and 3 along the bottom edge.There is one large screw under the speaker at the end of the door pocket.Lift the door card up and out.Remove the little grommit fromthe trim at the inside of the mirror, you need to break it, but they are pennies from ford.Remove the screw and the panel.Then if its electric remove the multiplug on the rear of the mirror, if manual you'll need to unscrew the handle for adjustemt.Undo the 3 Torx screws holding the mirror on, remember to do this with the door open.The mirror will come out.

Yes, there are absolutely tinting laws in Ohio

you adjust the mirror to get more light onto specimen

Note: You may want to remove the mirror from the windshield first to make the following steps easier. It's not necessary, but it's up to you. If so, pry off the plastic cover at the top of the mirror stalk, disconnect the power cord, and then pull the mirror downwards and parallel to the windshield to remove it.

Method 1: On the back side of the mirror below the ball joint, there is a small round cover. Insert a sharp blade tip at the top of the cover and carefully pry it out. Underneath is the tip of the tension screw. It has a slot in the end of it that can be tightened with a small flat-blade screwdriver. Carefully replace the cover, inserting the bottom tab first, then snap in the top. If the mirror is still not tight enough, go to Method 2.

Method 2: Carefully pry off the rim bezel of the mirror, starting in the middle of the seam on the bottom, working your way around the edge. The bezel will pop off when you get past one of the ends. I used a pair of heavy guitar picks to keep the latches from snapping back into place as I progressed. Once the bezel falls off, the mirror assembly will dangle from the power cord. The Phillips tension screw is in the center bottom of the case; tighten it to suit, and make certain that the four bracket mounting screws around it are all tight, too. Then place the mirror assembly back in place and snap the bezel back into place, starting at the top.

The wiper motor can be replaced reasonably easy, however your particular problem is usually caused by the circuit board that controls the wiper motor and the delay cycles, retraction, etc. The board is also quite cheaper than the entire wiper motor. It is also called a wiper pulse or relay board and can be found online from around $25 and up. The electronic board plugs into the wiper motor, and the electric cable plugs into the circuit board.

around 100 dollars

At most auto parts stores you can purchase a 3M window urethane sealant for this problem. Comes in a caulking tube and does a good job. Parts must be warm and clean. I hope this helps you. Mark On models with manually operatedmirrors the mirror glass can be simply unclipped from the mirror assembly. On other models angle the mirror so that access can be gained to the rear outer edge of the glass. Using a suitable piece of wire or welding rod bend the end of the wire into a small diameter hook. Locate the hook with the spring clip and pull the clip outwards to release the mirror. Models with electric heaters disconnect the wiring Reftting is the reverse of the above.

To tighten a loose side view mirror on a 2002 F150, take out the old screw and screw in a slightly larger one. It is also possible to tighten the mirror by using plumber's tape around the original screw.

$275 from a reputable service department. If the frame isn't damaged you might be able to get a replacement mirror for as little as $25.00. If you have to replace the whole thing it might get ugly.

On my 99 you remove the door panel(screws at bottom of panel, one in the armrest cup, and one behind the door handle.) Then remove the black plastic cover on the inside of the door where the mirror is. Three screws there come out and then remove the wiring harness. Reinstall is reverse of removal.

Neither, it depends on what you are trying to accomplish.

Here are complete step-by-step instructions (with photos) on how to remove a door panel:

Here are complete step-by-step instructions (with photos) on how to test a power window motor to determine whether the problem is in the motor/regulator or the switch/wiring

http://www.ricksfreeautorepairadvice.com/repair-topics/window-power-repair/replace-a-power-window-regulator

It would depend what's wrong with the motor... it may be the motor or the assembly.. if your not having any sounds coming from the assembly, then check at the connector if power is actually getting to the motor..In many cases just by opening and closing the door, the wire inside the sleeve that feeds the motor and switch, gets broke , then you have to repair it... The motor itself is a simple motor, nothing fancy, I found a couple of times that the magnet which makes up the field in the motor breaks and jams the armature (the part that actually turns in the motor).. that's why I suggest to make sure that power is coming into the motor. once you verify this and there is, try running the motor without any cables connected.. you could have a jammed cable or dry track allowing the window to pull sideways and jamming it some more.. . if you find that it is the motor, you will probably find that most of them are self destructive, as they are not screwed together, they are assembled and another machine basically folds the metal closed. so to open the motor may make it impossible to re-assemble.

You have to take the inside door panel off to get to the bolts. To take that off start by popping off the plastic trim piece inside of the interior door grab handle with a small screw driver. Take those two screws out and then take out the plastic keeper that looks like a screw that is behind the actual latched handle. This is done by actually backing it out like its a real screw until it comes out. After that take that plastic piece out that has the handle and the lock cased in it out by prising on one side of it(it just pops in). Then take the trim piece that the window controls are in apart from the door panel. Now start at the bottom of the door and start pulling the door panel away from the door. Sometimes its hard to get it but its just little plastic keepers that hold it so pull hard. Once you have it pulled away everywhere but on the top, lift the panel straight upward to pull it out of the window slot. Now just look for three black rubber/foam plugs right across from the mirror on the inside of the door and pull them out. Your bolts for the mirror are right inside of those holes. Just do everything in the opposite order that i described to put it all back together.
