I've got the Citroen door mirrors on my S3C, one of which needs to be tightened up. I gave up after a couple of hours yesterday trying to tighten the grub screw with a modified allen key - there just isn't enough room to get the allen key onto the grub screw with the mirror in situ.

I've seen an old post from the Chimaera form which suggests you can remove the mirror housing from the door mounting tripod which makes access to the grub screw easier. Has anyone tried this approach on an S?

It shouldn't be any different if the mirrors are the same as mine.

Oh and for OP, mine was loose because the bracket had sheared. Replacements available from TVR parts for a reasonable price.
Mine also has the grub screw set back in the hole in the door, is it the new bracket that has a longer collar on it so that the grub screw is more accessible?
