Griff Wing Mirror problem - help please

[Ultimate120]

Hi there,

I have a 98 Griffith 500 and the O/S Wing Mirror Body seems to have come loose and just hangs and rotates around.

I have checked inside the Door Panel and there are no anchoring nuts/bolts only the wire going up through a fibre glass boss. I have also removed the Mirror but still can't see what to tighten up.

Anyone know how to remove it completely so that I can see what the problem is?

Thanks.

Mac.

These have got to be th crappiest mirrors known to man, my Griff had a wonky one whe I bought it, when I tried to move it, it came off in my hand.
I've managed to plate the mounting post back into the frame inside the cowl temporarily till I can find a replacement.
Don't let anyone tell you they are from a Citroen XM, they are from a late Citroen CX.
