Hi, 

 

I'm having problems with the driver's side wing mirror on my early Mk2 Fabia. The mirror glass and housing are all OK but the mirror itself flops around very loosely. It's a mechanical adjustment system (not electric) and I assume that the adjustment mechanism is broken. 

 

Is it possible to change the adjustment mechanism and keep the parts are are OK? Or am I better off just changing the whole thing? 

 

It looks like this. The cover is not coloured, which I imagine makes things easier. 

 

 

 

Thanks for your help. 

 

 

Oli. 

 

most likely need a new mirror assy..........

 

Does the adjustment still work ?

Thanks UP.

 

No, the adjustment mechanism is hoopajooped. The knob inside wobbles around and doesn't do anything.

 

If a whole new mirror is the way forward then I'll go and have a squiz at eBay for a secondhand one. Are they easy to change?

 

Thanks again for your help.

Quite easy if not electric, pop off the internal triangle plastic use a plastic prise lever as metal will scratch you will then see 3 tox screws these need to be removed, I found it an advantage to wind the window down as you can then hold the mirror as you release the bolts, normaly the sponge seal breaks I used a silicone seal around the edge to stop water getting in re-fit the 3 torx screws and clip back in the plastic triangle part job done, electric one is a bit more work as the door card has to be removed to get a the wires
