    i am having no luck with the zed - the sickest its been ever.
    Latest prob... driving along a road, some drunken a**hole sticks their hand out walking along the side of the road and smashes my mirror off the mounting and is now dangling by the cable. Do i need a whole new mirror or is there some way to repair this..
    I hope it broke his f'n wrist.

    Kalus Finally dug myself out

    depends on where it broke, but I'd reckon u need a whole

    new mirror. It's prolly broken the casting.

    the whole pivoting mirror assembly broke from the 'hinge'

    it appears that only a small plastic connection has broken... not sure though.

    but it is seriously just hanging by the electric mirror cord. :(

    Mirror needs replacing.

    The same thing happened to me two years ago ( minus the drunk; the mirror assembly came apart around the hinge after washing the car one day, it was obviously on it's last legs ). Tried a few things to repair it, but in the end I had to replace it. managed to get a second hand one for just over $100 but still had to spray it.
