    Arrived home in the wee hours this morning to find that poor Bumble has had one of his ears pulled off (aka wing mirror) the bit attached to the body work is fine, the movable bit was dangling off from the cable. Good news I guess is that it was still attached, the glass is fine and the electrics are working fine too.

    So it sits in "socket" but is not stable. Can't see anything that is snapped off and I've taped it up for now but any ideas of how to fix it properly?
