Fitting M3 Mirrors

[terrible___1]

Has any1 had trouble fitting there mirrors?

[BadBoyNeil]

Erm no. If ya need some help then I will tell ya how to fit em.

well its just the top screw it dont grip the hole on the plate did u use a longer screw?

[BadBoyNeil]

Mine fitted ok. Just screw a longer Self Tapper. Screw it through the hole so it touches the actual inside base of the mirror and makes a small hole in the baseplate. Use a slightly fatter one too. Too fat and it will crack. Might sound like a bodge job but it worked for my mate.

If all else fails get the superglue out.

No problemo. Don't get your nearside one wiped off by a woman in a Ford Galaxy like me and you'll be ok.

The bace plates should follow the curve of the door frame, most ones I see are mounted too high. Still looks OK and only fussy buggers like me spot it. Took me 2 evenings to get them just right with a needle file.
