James-M Posted July 14, 2007 Report Share Posted July 14, 2007 (edited) Hi y'all, Well I reversed my bro's car into my hedge, breaking off the right-hand wing mirror, the thing is it doesn't want to go back on. You put everything in place, and it slots in nicely to the little hinge type things, but there is about a centimetre gap from being totally in, and it doesn't click into place. There is a piece of metal in there shaped kinda like the drawing**, where the bits that poke out of the top and the bottom (in the side of the car) pop into two holes in the wing mirror, and they're just not popping in, even with a lot of brute force, it's not wanting to go into place. It's very hard to explain, I may have to take a picture later, and I would understand if no one new what I was going on about, but does anyone have any ideas at all as to how to make it click into place? Cheers.**Edit : Drawing is not being presented how I did it in the message, so I have taken it out Edited July 14, 2007 by trials pie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomR Posted July 14, 2007 Report Share Posted July 14, 2007 What kinda mirror is it? Had that on my mk3.5 fiesta but ended up buying a new one off a forum for a tenner posted. Easy enough to swap over if you need to replace it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
