Good stuff mate!!
hey ive just gotten a 91 gq with power mirrors the passenger side is fine but the drivers side the plastic part that holds the little motors is broken and falling out so just wondering what is the best way to go replace with the same or change to manaul ones?
Both my electric mirros were broken on the outside locking tab (in fact I am struggling to find a part that isnt broken ;-() , so I lossened the outer two facia bolts, cut a piece of aluminium strap, bent it 90 degress and drilled a hole in one end. I then screwed a screw in the unused retaining block and cut the head off. I then slipped the bracket I made under the facia, tightned the facia bolts, slid the mirror back in and forced the made bracket over the cut off screw with a large screw driver, locking the cut off screw body into the hole in the bracket. Seems to have worked, but only time will tell.
Good luck
I've tightened mine that many times that the screw is threaded me thinks ... Going to order a new set in time ...
Exact same problem here. The mirror actually fell out of the housing, only held in by the wires. The tabs that hold the mirror in are broken. It's a real PITA driving on the freeway now without that mirror.
Well I did find out a price for a new one from the guys at nizzbits but hqave a list of other things more pressing so just got the old silcone gun out and filled the cover up and then sat the mirror base in there roughly where it used to sit so far so good will have to wait and see how well it holds but so far so good lol
Well the mojomobile has come to the same fate as some of the others now, the screw used to come loose so I tightened it and it solved the issue for about 6 months, the little plastic bit the screw goes into it snapped today, now the mirror is being held in by a few strips of race tape... aprt from paying a small fortune for some replacement ones has anyone found a work around ? or aftermarket option ?
I am spending my children's inheritance on my 92 GQ PATROL .. and by the time they get it, it will have way to many kilometers on the clock, and it wont be worth anything
Anyone who has replaced their mirrors interested in selling their old ones? I'd like a couple to experiment on before I go an stuff the ones up on my 93 Ti Patrol.
electric mirror
