Rear view mirrors

[edtad]

Hi

My rear view mirrors have suddenly become loose and have minds of there own. How the devil do you tighten them ? I did see someones post recently on this very subject who interestingly had few if any replies. I hope I have a little more success. Many thanks

The mirror glass is stuck on to a circular plastic plate. Over time the adhesive loosens and they shake about.

Look under the mirror glass and you will see a small metal tab, using a small screwdriver push it sidewards and the plate should release from its mounting and the glass fall out.

Its hard to explain but once you see how it works its a doddle

got them off there seems to be no way of tightening the wing mirrors themselves. I also had some f***ing idiot twist the left one right round and so the door release wire to the switch has sheared I cant seem to pull any slack through I may be able to solder it up. Not that I have a soldering iron.....

Any ideas how to free the loom ? I cant see where it comes into the footwell either ?


Anyways cheers anyway

Pull back the carpet just in front of the door and you will find the wires. For the electric window there is a plug & socket at this point, don't know if theres one for the mirror.
Also you may find it benficial to remove the speaker for access to wires in the door

Thanks I'll take a look at the speaker tomorrow, Ive also bought a soldering iron on ebay just in case I have to solder it.
