Does the pilot 2810031 mirror backside housing come off so a white housing can be put on?

It comes already uninstalled but it may, or may not fit with a Ford part because it's aftermarket.

Yes. When I purchased this item, it shipped with the backside separate. Although, it was a bit difficult to get the original backside to snap on. The original backside has three little circular materials sticking out from inside that prevent it from snapping on. They have to be removed first.

yes, you back the OEM screws out. I put a piece of tape between. and then use the new screws

If you are talking about the screw that holds the convex mirror to the convex mirror housing, it is not an exotic screw. I didn't measure it, but I think it is a #8 x 1" pan head sheet metal screw. I'd suggest testing different screws until you find the right one so you don't cross thread the bore for this screw. I don't suggest glueing these two pieces together for two reasons. One is you can't remove the entire mirror unless you destroy the housing. The other is that the ball joint that allows adjustment is nicely tight. I found that removing the mirror from the housing, nudging the ball joint, then refitting and checking for view, was more successful than just pushing on one side or the other with my thumb as is suggested in the instructions. If you are referring to the pair of screws that are part of the clamping mechanism, I tried to get extras that were a little shorter than as supplied and couldn't find them. They are a metric size, I think a #7. The hardware store I go to has a pretty complete stock, but not that size. It wasn't worth going to a specialty screw supply to find them.

I had to remove the bolt holding mirror onto bracket to install the bracket to frame. After this was done I reinstalled mirror to mounting bracket. Just pay attention to how the washer and spring are located so you can reattach correctly. I suggest doing only one at a time so you will have the untouched 2 nd mirror to refer to if you forget.worked good for me except I had to add some washers to the bolt heads to keep them from pulling thru the bracket when tightened.

The housing comes with it. I got it as a replacement. Basically, you take the old one off, take the new one out of the box and attach. Very easy.

I don't know anymore because I installed it right before I sold the car. But what I received was a perfectly sized replacement for the mirror glass on my 2004 Passat GLS wagon. The only problem was "Objects In Mirror Larger Than They Appear" is knocked out of the silvering, rather than printed. On the heated backing plate, the words are printed in white, so the original glass lined up to make it look like white words in the mirror. With the new glass, the words don't line up very well. So I painted white over the words on the backing plate, and then when I adhered the mirror to the plate the white showed through and everything was readable. Kind of a pain but it worked.

Yeah. Anything that attached via double tape can screw up the OEM mirror. You just have to get your fingertip between the BS Mirror and the OEM mirror, then work your way in there to separate it.

No, mirror interior. FYI, interior mirror on mine came broken and I had to replace it with white melamine. White looks better for the interior in my opinion.

Yes, the battery housing comes off the main housing without even a wrench. There is a self threading wing nut type of arrangement that lets the battery housing come off so that the main part is still attached to whatever you have it attached to.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8P5EyvbJ5zE&feature=youtube_gdata_player Its pretty easy to replace the mirrors. I was able to replace them without taking the entire panel off. And the only thinnest holds the mirror on us three bolts

When I replaced the driver side, I did have to open the door panel. I didn't consider it to be easy, but it isn't impossible with basic tools and some diligence. I also have the passenger side mirror, which I haven't replaced yet. I assume it will be a similar job.One humorous note, unless you are a super perfectionist and then I suppose it will annoy you, was the control wires were incorrectly positioned in the connector. So, none of the power control directions match the mirror response. It isn't the kind of thing that I care too much about.

Yes it does. I mounted mine as a recessed mount and thus did not have to use the mirrored side trims.My only disappointment with the recessed mount and probably with the surface mount is that the the hinged sides are exposed. I wish they had provided some trim to cover that.Hope this helps.

I understood the question to mean the housing folding back, like you are trying to bring the mirrors in before pulling into a narrow parking spot or garage... It does not do that. The motor only adjusts the mirror. Easy install videos are on YouTube.

You first have to remove the screw on the backing plate. (If I remember correctly it is a plastic screw. Don't hold me to that though). Hold on to the backing plate and turn the housing. It should come right off. When I say backing plate, I'm not talking about the mounting plate. That is a separate piece.

The housings appear to be plastic with a metal scree over the speakers. The housing has metal inserts for the screws that attach to the mirror mounts.
