Mirror Repair and Door card Removal -Door mirror vandals - this ever happened to you?

[Mac_rouser]

Hi BigJacko
I know how you feel when you say therapy, I would like to dish out my own sort of therapy to the single brained numbscull who broke my mirror.
I stood in the middle of the street like Victor Meldrew, I don't I just don't %$^&*@+g believe it. I was madder than hell.

Thanks for your kind words about the how-to.
It's not as bad as it looks, and you don't even need to take the door card of to be fair.
Shame you are in Bath and I am in Yorkshire I would gladly do it for ya.

BTW according to Mrs Mac I am always held responsible lol.

Nice pic in your sigie the car and the buildings behind, classic Bath.

I don't suppose there's any chance you could possibly castrate the little b*****d who kicked my mirror off, with equal speed and accuracy, is there? Actually, I'm not that bothered about the accuracy of the aforementioned punishment operation, tbh... take as many hacks as you need! Come to think of it, speed isn't an issue either - if it could be started quickly, but completed very, very slowly, and preferably without anaesthetic, so much the better!

Thanks!

ROFL... Doh! Yeah, it sorta does, doesn't it?

Maybe it really needs to start with a "Neither", else it's just hanging on that "nor", isn't it?

My apologies for the goose-chase, anyway. 'Fraid all I am seeing is red, at the moment!


And to Mac - thanks again matey... I'll see what Les at SMC has to say about replacements (whilst I hold my breath and place a mattress to catch me as I faint), then see whether I can find some courage tomorrow. Sad to say it, but the street where it happened is a sidestreet from the one in the darned sig-pic. Gutted. Bet the Georgians never had this sorta trouble with their 2-litres!

had a visit from the same type of moron as all of you guys, did my victor meldrew bit at 4 30 am outside the house, funny how everybody heard that but not the sickening crunch of knackered plastic, my whole mirror is a write off, so no choice but to buy whole unit, will endeavour to employ n0 2 method to replace mirror unit. D"OH !!!

[STUBIE]

Excellent How to Mac, will assist in helping me fit powerfolds.

Stubs

Just wanted to say "Thanks" Mac....... As I have to replace my Passenger Door Mirror.

Nice one!

i got some mirrors with the same problem but i found it more easy to put the autolocker washer back not a seeger one and compress everything with a long bolt until the washer locks in the groove ... anyway many many thanks for the tutorial couldn't do it without you many thanks

[wuzerk]

A very good 'how to' but i changed my entire broken mirror without removing the door card and, because I bought the replacement chromed one from
Seancar it cost well under £40.

[MangoMan]

Yes, I used the 'Second' Method aswell... Makes it quite an easy and quick job!

Yup long bolt option works well, used this for other applications as well, to draw parts together
