Wing Mirror Angles
Just over a month or so ago I had my wing-mirror smashed off the drivers side of my insight right outside my house. Luckily it only broke the small plastic triangular mounting.
I was resigned that these things happen, although wasn't prepared to be asked for £195 ($400) for a entire mirror from Honda.
Luckily somebody replied to my messgage on this forum and sent me the parts I needed to repair my mirror from the USA to the UK.
It arrived last weekend and I was well chuffed. Although the mirror was broken, the parrts I needed were intact and I set about straight away to fix my superglued mirror.
It all fitted back together quite well, except when I got mounting the mirror casing onto the triangular mounting arm. Although the pieces looked identical, they were in fact quite different.
I managed to get it all fitted back together, although now the mirror, which is on my drivers side, faces the side of the car too much, and I have to lean forward to use it properly. There is also a small gap where it fits together.
Does anyone know whether the angle of the mirrors on either side of a right hand drive car would be set differently to those on a left hand drive car?
Before anyone replies, I have tried adjusting thr mirror, although the angle of the casing seems to be different that when I had the UK spec, right hand, drivers side mirror mount.
Any ideas?
