Last night when parking I folded my passenger side wing mirror back and the small yellow clip keeps the mirror in the folded position came apart in my hand.

Has anyone had / fixed this?

It looks like a bit of a mare to sort out....

Thanks
 
Ive got a horrible feeling its going to be broken and a new mirror base section required .. im not back at work now untill tuesday but ill have a look when i can and see if anything looks like it can be done .. i would say take a picture but i dont think that will help .
 
Very kind of you to help.

I spent an hour looking for the part but couldn't find anything but I am interested to see if you can come up with anything.

Thanks
 
I didn't even know they could be folded in... d'oh!
 
Its a yellow clip that pivots .. it has a spring to help it return to closed position .

What i expect has happened is the yellow clip has broken at the pivot pin .. it has a metal bracket top and bottom with a pin locateing through the yellow pin top and bottom .

See if you can get a picture to help but from looking today then i have been unable to find any parts available .. it seems to be one unit .

A picture might help if i can see which bit has broken and if i can think of any repair as its a new mirror bracket if not :(
 
It is the yellow tip that has broken off the arm, I am going to try and glue it together as the rest of the mechanism still operates okay.
