Help! Pranged the wing mirror

[mattrad]

You know how it is - you’re trying to squeeze between two rows of vehicles and your Mum pipes up “It’s a bit tight!” but you know better and before you know it you’ve knocked another vehicle and twisted your right wing mirror round.

Can i just twist this back into place or will that mess things up any further?

I'd wager that any damage is already done, so no harm in trying.

It turned back round pretty easily to be honest. Sounds a bit ropey on the electric fold so I’ll get it looked at.

Following on from this incident; Then this thread; https://www.t6forum.com/threads/wing-mirror-snapped-off.3510/page-2#post-255223 I bought a couple of the brackets from the 'Bay... Fitting requires full mirror removal and dismantling. My temporary fix holding up well...

The bush splits and can sometimes be bent back but will be very fragile now. Get a bush of eBay for when it eventually breaks.

Thanks @Howzat, the thread you’ve linked to is very helpful. I’ll give it a go.
