Question
William,
Can you give me some tips on the following repairs to my Ford Contour.
Right front fender - replace.
Right door mirror - replace.
Small dent on right front door - Can I knock it out from inside?
I already bought the parts.
Thanks, Tom B.
remove fender liner, there are probably 2 bolts holding the fender to the front bumper cover. You may need to remove the head lamp. Don't know about the dent. I can't see it from here. If it's minor, pay a dent doctor to fix it. Even I can't do as nice a job as a dent doctor. Amateur jobs alway look like crap. you will need to remove the interior panel to remove the mirror, and to access the wire harness to the mirror. Bill
