I picked up a mirror I want to use on the passenger side. The base was easy to rotate but I can’t get it to mirror to rotate on the shaft. I took the nut and spring off but it still doesn’t move at all. Anyone know what I need to do?

Yes, that is exactly what I did using a 1/16" drill bit. I ended up pretty close to the center of the tapped holes. I used the features on the driver side door as reference such as the front window track recess in the door top portion. Using masking tape on the passenger door, I created my lines and target to replicate the driver side.
Once the 1/16 hole was done and determined to be within the tapped hole, I gradually opened it up using a Dremel with a small burr since my 1/16" pilot hole wasn't perfectly centered. Here is the result after plugging the useless holes that had been done by one or the POs.  Good luck! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) |
