Blue_Joe 0 Posted November 21, 2005 Someone last night snapped off my mirror unit at the pivot breaking the bar inside that it rotates on. and at the moment I can't afford to replace it then get it smoothed and repainted!!!! Does anyone know if I can strip down the mirror unit and replace the broken part??? Also does anyone have a spare mirror unit that they don;t want or is broken/damaged etc that I can rob the bit from??? I'm a bit skint at the moment! Thanks Sam Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gradeAfailure 0 Posted November 21, 2005 Sam, I think you'll be ok - afaik, you only have to have two mirrors on the car, as my first car (Nova :oops:) only had one wing mirror... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blue_Joe 0 Posted November 21, 2005 gradeAfailure I'm more concerned that it's my drivers mirror really and hate driving without! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bcstudent 0 Posted November 21, 2005 I'm pretty sure the driver's mirror is a legal requirement. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phil K 0 Posted November 21, 2005 AFAIK The driver’s side is a legal requirement and the passenger side is too if it was fitted by the manufacturer... Good luck getting this sorted :? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dinkus 10 Posted November 21, 2005 I've got misc mirror bits about if you want me to bring them along/post them Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blue_Joe 0 Posted November 22, 2005 dinkus Have you taken the mirror to bits then??? If so it would be cheaper to post just a few bits. I'll take the mirror apart tonight and say whats broken. But it seems to be the bar up the middle that hold the 2 pieces together and let it swivel Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dinkus 10 Posted November 22, 2005 Yeah, one of them is just in pieces and the other one is just missing the glass. Can't remember which is which tho. If you lemme know, I can bung whatever bits you need in the post. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bristolbaron 11 Posted November 22, 2005 sam if dom doesnt have the bit my mirrors are being dropped at mine tonight. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dinkus 10 Posted November 22, 2005 I've sent a whole mirror minus glass, so hopefully the right bit he needs will be in there Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tedb 0 Posted June 1, 2006 Yes, my Drivers Mirror (Right Hand side) has also just been broken and they also managed to break the motor casing in several places, the bar that the mirror pivots on is completely broken. The Motor still works!! No other damage to the Mirror though. I have a Glass but now need a Motor Unit/Motor Casing Assembly. Anyone with any spare parts I will gladly pay a reasonable amount. Many thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
