How do I replace the drivers side power mirror on my grams car?

Someone had hit my grams 99 Ford Escort in a parking lot and her drivers side power mirror is hanging off. It needs to be replaced can someone please tell me how to replace it for her? Please tell me step by step on how to do it (I need the %26quot;dummy%26quot; version please for I've never done it before). Thanks sooo much in advance....How do I replace the drivers side power mirror on my grams car?you will probably have to take the inside door panel off to get to the mirror nuts unless your lucky and there is just a small cover over the mirror nuts, anyway once you get the inside of the mirror exposed all you need is a 10 millimeter socket and ratchet to take the 3 10 mil. nuts off that hold the mirror in place and as you say it's a power mirror so there will be a wire connection to it that you have to unplug and then you can take the whole mirror off from the outside of the door, to replace just reverse the steps. Good luck.How do I replace the drivers side power mirror on my grams car?if the mirror head is still intact they can be reattached by lining up the pegs with the metal clips [x3] and giving it a sharp tap.
