Torqued-out my DS Morror


Recommended Posts

Well, I sure did it this time, hehe...

 

Backing up, I pulled a little too close to a trash can and I (what I thought was) innocently "nudged" the drivers' mirror to the point where it folded forward by about 45 degrees. :banghead:

 

Now it's a little "off-kilter". Kinda sagging off from the top now. I can still use it, but it certanly looks kinda funny. Are there springs or anything in there that can be replaced in there? I haven't cracked-it-open yet. It's not power or anything. I'll see if I can get some pics ...

There are three balls that ride in a track at hte base of the mirror. There are detents in the track, which are the *in place* spots.

 

When you fold the mirror out, sometimes the one or more of those little ball fall out.

 

I've been able to shim a ball bearing back intop the track by carefully prying up the mirror and pushing the ball under. IIRC, the mirror must be rotated about 45 deg forward to access the track.
