Re: AZL 1957
The problem is that the spring that retains the glass is gone missing. I glued the pieces together and made a new spring. But i don't know if it's strong enough... will see tomorrow on the road.

Re: AZL 1957
I broke my mirror. My fault as I didn't have the door restrainer connected, and the mirror pushed against the body of car. Hadn't realised and have lost the spring.

Re: AZL 1957
Well it didn't fall out but i did only see the opposite side of the road... So the falling branch did also bend the mirrors arm.... Took the thing off and bend it back a bid in the vise. Should be OK now...

Re: AZL 1957
You could look for a replacement at the A markt, Citromobiel, Merksplas or A t/m ZX markt , or any other event . But it is a shame that it went broke. Goodluck .

Re: AZL 1957
Yes A-markt is a good place. But also some make-up mirror might fit...

Re: AZL 1957
Friend of mine broke the mirror on his 25 year old BMW motorcycle. They wanted a ridiculous £58 for a piece of mirror glass. So he bought a piece of mirrored plastic from Ebay for £2.99, and cut it to shape.

Re: AZL 1957
The local glass firm did cut me a mirror to size for the landrover for 10 euros.
