hey guys rolando from revemoto so today we're going to be working on this 2005 nissan frontier
side view mirror removal and installation if you guys if you guys need this mirror for your vehicle
go ahead and uh link us up above we sell this at redmoto.com and also the description below
we'll also have the link for this vehicle but if you guys need any other prepaid auto body
parts for your car go to revemoto.com your pre-paint auto body part source
so let's go ahead and get started so first thing we're going to do is go ahead open the door
so a couple things we're going to be using right here is going to be a 10 millimeter
and also if you don't have a panel removal tool you can also use a fly head to remove
these uh push pins right here so again this car is a 2005 so it might be a little bit of uh um
this thing's gotta deteriorate a little bit so it might break off so if it does break off you
can always buy at your local hardware store or automotive store or your local dealership
all right guys before i get started go ahead and hit that like button down there so we know
to create more great videos like this for you so let's go ahead and get started on this car
our truck so right here we're going to go ahead and remove the uh the pushpin just like that
it's gonna be three of them they're fairly easy to remove
there's like a little insert right there if you guys can see so you just insert it right there and
then pull out all right so right here you got to be careful don't pull it out too fast but kind of
easily take it off because there's prongs there and there's like this um glue it's like
a double-stick tape so go ahead and uh see if i can remove it carefully because it's uh stuck on
there you know it's been five years and actually not five years 20 years is it been two years
so see how i pulled up here and i tried pulling right here it got stuck so don't force it because
you're gonna break the whole uh the whole little cover now go to the bottom right here and i can
hear it there's like some kind of glue so i'm pulling slowly it's like double-stick tape
there's like double-stick tape everywhere on this one
there we go
so you guys notice uh on this particular cover there's like double stick tape on the bottom
so if you continue to pull it like this and you pull you're gonna crack it in half so try to pull
from the bottom and then you work your way to the side and then once you get one side completely out
you can go ahead and kind of pry it a little bit faster and harder okay so now you're going to go
ahead and reveal those screws that we want to take off all right guys so in this particular mirror we
actually have to remove the door panel so i'm gonna go ahead and get started on that one so
go ahead and pry it back with a flathead and then you're gonna reveal the screw right here
that's gonna be a 10 millimeter so now 9 out of 10 times the only
bolt or there's a socket you're going to be removing it it's going to be a 10 millimeter
take that off so let's go ahead and come to the side right here we're going to pry it back
but i kind of held on right here and kind of pushed out because
i couldn't get uh my finger in there so if you guys have like something flat
uh i would recommend a plastic piece something that won't scratch up like the uh
the paint job itself but right here is kind of easy i just kind of pulled on it so when
i pulled on it it's kind of stuck here still so i'm thinking i need to remove the door handle
so let me see
all right so again when i pull this i can feel the stuck right here so i know for sure there's
another bolt somewhere around here so i kind of looked at the door handle itself and i kind of
see like it's uh it's not all in one piece so knowing that indication right there tells me
that i can remove the cover so right there i kind of just put my hand right here and i pried it off
so you went like this and we can just push it back in later
all right so now we got these bolts right here that we got to take off
okay now let's see if that will come off easily
all right so now that the door handle is actually
i mean not the door hand door panel comes off we can go ahead and uh pull it and then lift up
and then let it just dangle
and then right here we're gonna look for that uh wire let's see if i can find that wire
okay so right here guys it's going to be this piece right here we're going to pull that off
push it in let's get a fly head a lot easier for us get a fly head
push it in like that on one side and then get the other side and push it in there we go and then
there's our there's our plug right there that we need to take off so go ahead and uh unplug it oh
unscrew it right here first because i put that one back in just to hold up the side view mirror
take that off now use your hand to hold the base unplug it
so just in case it does fall it doesn't fall the way down let me see if i can unplug it
with one finger there we go so you press down on this on this tab right here you press down
and then you pull up and that should release it and then go ahead and uh guide it out there we go
so that's how you remove that mirror from inside here to put it back on it's really
easy just go ahead and uh you guys come around here all right guys so remember we do sell this
mirror at redmoto.com so if you need any mirrors for your vehicle go to redmoto.com and it also
unless it doesn't come painted we do paint it uh in-house to color match your vehicle
so let's go ahead and get started on this finish it up I'm gonna go ahead and put this plugin
there so you got a wire you got to kind of fish it through so put it in there
also remember uh our mirrors come with a uh a gasket you can reuse the old one
and or you can use the new one that you get from us but don't use both of them
on top of each other and a lot of people make that mistake but if you do that you're going to hear
a lot of noise and it's probably because you put two of the gaskets together so go ahead and just
use one gasket the old one or the new one so then once you do that go ahead and line up the holes
sometimes you gotta pray doesn't fall so now go ahead and get a screw right there
the video man said nuts
so go ahead and uh get one in there first and then plug it up now you got to find that wire
there we go got that wire right there
plug it up and then before we actually put it back together let's go ahead and turn on the car
make sure the mirror actually works
turn it left right up and down all right everything works
turn off that car go ahead and get that plug right there once it's all connected together and then
push it back in there you go here that click and we're going to go ahead and grab all these bolts
so again you're just tightening it hand tightening it don't tighten it too much because you're gonna
break that uh i guess it's called a stud this is made out of plastic so if you get it too hard
it's gonna break apart so you don't wanna do that i just wanna make sure it's hand tightened
but what i do is i tighten it up
and then when i feel it kind of grip all i do is like one full rotation like that's
that's it
that's it all right so now i'm going to put the door panel back on the door panel always
goes over so this little ledge right here make sure this thing goes over like that
sometimes you got to give it a little bit of a push there
then you guys can see everything's lined up the holes are lined up and once you see
that all lined up you can go ahead and push down on the uh door panel you can hit it down
and you hear that clicking noise that means that the door panel is secure
you can actually go ahead and uh kind of pull it back and if it kind of pulls back
then you know it's not secured but you guys can see that it's fully secured on there
so now we can go ahead and pull the uh the bolts back on the longer one goes here
well let's see come right
yep the longer goes there and the shorter one goes over here
door handle you slide it in first like that
actually sorry just put this on there also so you kind of have to line it up
like that and once that's all lined up go ahead and press down on it
there you go and again you hear that clicking noise that means that it it's actually put in
the right place but don't force it if you feel it kind of not uh going in there uh easily that
means that you may not have had those prongs in correctly so go ahead and double-check it and then
push it down all right so now we're gonna go ahead and put that uh bolt right there
and then the cover
check this out that's the way it goes
okay so you gotta remember this cover right here
goes behind this little cover right here and then now secure
last but not least is this cover right here
just match up the hole match up the holes with the prongs
there you go then these things go in there
then this thing goes in there all right there we go
