Thank you guys! The pictures and information help a lot. I actually do fold my mirrors sometimes and I'd hate to lose that functionality. If I can't repair it I will probably just order a new one soon.

 

yea i went with glue both of mine did this within 2 days of eachother...but i think someone where i worked bumped into them...cause both times i came out and as soon as i left work i noticed them RIGHT away....pretty pissed but so many ppl in the warehouse area cant know for sure if someone did and if so who...i never fold mine in so oh well

 

Happened to me as well, was washing the car and found the mirror to be loose. I rigged it for the time being.

 

lol i just ended up using zip ties for now.

 

LOL. You own a Silvia in your past life?

 

no a riced out turbo civic

 

lol, steve you too? I still own my stocker Si hatch...keeping it for a little longer, eventually will sell to put more money into my LEX.

 

LOL it was my first car, a 91' civic si w/ jdm b16a1 and semi built.

 

Had one of those too! 91 Si HB w/JDM front with a LS swap...currently 95 Si HB all original, 134k on the clock.

 

oh i see what hes talking about. i've fixed one and im with OLT it wouldve been much better to liquid nail it unless your painting your car:


strip down your mirror as mentioned above:

-remove five screws around mirror
- take front cover off
-finagle mirror out
-remove motor assembly

youre down to this:




flip side:




then you manage to remove this spring and clip ( about as easy as kissing chuck norris in the mouth and making him think its not gay) with vice grips if youre strong as the hulk.

or an assortment of nuts, a long bolt, and washers as i did.:




reinstall on new mirror in opposite order. If anyone needs the springs and clips i have them for sale. lmk
