Talk about bad luck...
today i noticed that my drivers side rear view mirror was a little crooked, so i decided to fix the damn thing
So i remove the small triangular panel on the inside to get at the screws, i start removing them, but one was rusted like crazy, so instead of first spraying it with some grease, i just turned the damn thing, and SNAP...it broke off
so i was like "s**t" i cant just leave it hanging there, so i removed the whole thing, and took it apart, i had to make my own screw to fit in its place, so i did and drilled it into the body
then when i put the rearview mirror back on, for some reason the window had difficulties rolling up and down....so I was like "what now"...
turns out the hole i drilled, was too close to the sleave were the window slides up and down.....
so finally i loosen the screw, and grease the inside of the sleave so everything would work smothely...
in the end, what was supposed to take me 3 minutes, took me an hour............
At least they make these parts, in a way, that if they break, you can fix it yourself, imagine if i went out to get a brand new rearview mirror...
