Hi, just bought my first ever TVR, an S3 which needs a bit of tlc in priority order as it has clearly been neglected for some time. The wing mirrors are very loose but I can't fathom out how to remove, then re-install them? Took door card off today, but no signs of easy access.
Does anyone know how they are removed (without breaking them)?

Thanks.

Thanks for the info guys. By 'Loose', I mean I can rotate the whole wing mirror, so finding the grub screw shouldn't be too difficult. I think the previous owner put a small blob of glue to attempt to hold it in place, which I broke as soon as I tinkered with it.

I'll have a look later as it looks like rain all day.

Thanks again

One mirror was loose, so rotated it and released grub screw.

The other unfortunately is broken (not by me) as described above. Looks like the alloy legs have been sheared.

Assuming I can unscrew the whole mirror from the door, will I be able to replace the alloy legs, or does this mean I need a complete new wing mirror?

I presume a scrap yard is my best bet?

Thanks
