Driver's mirror in visor

[gillianmcd]

Hello all :)

The flip-mirror in my visor (driver's side) is broken :-(
Does anyone know if I can replace this or do I have to replace the whole visor? I assume I have to go through a mini dealer?

Help!

Cheers in advance!

Hey there, how did you manage to do that?.. is the hinge bit broken of the mirror panel or is the frame the mirror sits in broken?..

Hey! It's the little plastic hinge bit - it just sort of snapped, so now when you lift up the cover to the mirror it comes away in your hand which then means if you keep the visor down the light for the mirror stays on. Annoying.

I don't know how old you car is, but it looks to just screw in. There must be a wire in there as well for the lighting in the mirror I'd have thought.

you should just throw your car round to the dealership and ask them to fix it and see what they say... might get it done under waranteee cover if you enquire cheekily :-)

Cheers for that guys! Will let you know how I get on!
