Putting Your Rearview Mirror Back On

[broncosi]

So your rearview mirror fell off. No biggie, its easier to put back on than you think.

Tools: (1) Phillips head screwdriver
(2) Something to pry with

Ok so to get started use something to pry your lens off your reading/dome light, there will be an indented tab already cut out to stick something in to pry.

Once you have the lens off, look up inside the assembly and inside each reading light there will be a phillips head screw, remove both of these.

This will allow you to pull the assembly out of the bigger plastic piece.

Once that assembly is out, its a good idea, for the time being, to disconnect the power harness to this assembly to get it down and out of the way.

Now on to the next part, getting that plastic piece off. Heres what it looks like off so you can get an idea of what you need to do.

Start by getting the back loose, Push on the back towards the front with enough pressure for those 3 tabs to become free.

Then all you have left is the 2 plastic screw type holders in the front which with a little pressure will come down.

Once that piece is off you can remove your rearview mirror assembly which is 2 pieces together held in by 3 phillips head screws.

Also unscrew the phillips head screw off the top of your actuall mirror. Run the screw from your mirror through the washer and assembly and back into the mirror and tighten it back together.

And your all done . . . . well almost, now just put everything back together then your done.
