Fitting rear view mirror??
« on: December 15, 2006, 23:55:48 »
There has to be some kind of knack to it right?

Came out no problem and although the bracket is in place on the new roof I can't fit the actual mirror?

Any tips on fixing it? :lol:

I seem to remember press against the spring and hook the other side in. sounds easy doesn't it well all i will say is allow your self shed loads of time have no body near you with a nervous dispostion read viz's profanisurus swearing dictionary, pad the wall's near you with cushions (so you don't break it when it slips for the 10th time and you sling it against said wall) and give up when you start crying why oh why???go down the pub and say sod it... 8)  8)  8)  g
Don't waste your time on jealousy; sometimes you're ahead, sometimes you're behind. The race is long, and in the end, it's only with yourself. !!!
