Hi all, my 1998 Octavia has a small round knob on the drivers door that rotates up or down to select a mirror then acts as a joystick to adjust the chosen mirror. The knob just came off in my hands. It looks to me as though it has snapped along a small length of clear plastic. I'm not terribly optimistic that a drop of superglue would be sufficiently strong to hold under the twists and turns of normal use. Anyone had a similar problem and managed to fix it? Or is it simple to replace with a new knob?

All help appreciated.

Cheers

Andy

I don't know if the mirror switch comes away from the door panel easily, but I think if you're going to do a DIY repair you may need to remove the door panel and access the panel - I have the same switch (I think we all do) on my Fabia, but I've never paid much attention to how it fits in the door, etc.

Good luck with the repair.

My driver's side one has a dab of superglue on it and now it doesnt budge!

The same happened to me, the adjuster just came away in my hands.

EDITED: sorry I thought you meant the backing plate that clips into the door panel, not just the actual adjuster itself. It seems to be one complete unit. :(

Thanks for the advice folks - the dealer I got it from has offered to replace it for two quid - sounds good to me! Cheers, Andy

Cheaper than a tube of SupaGlue!!!

The mirror switch is available as a spare.....I have broken 2 in my time. There are 2 types, and the switch clips into the face piece.

Will cost you around
