Hi

Can someone possibly help me. my son knocked off my rear view mirror
and i am having dreat trouble putting it together again. There seems to
be two metal clips but i cant see where they go. I can clip the two
plastic halves together but it seems quite wobbly without those two
clips in the right place.

Regards

Si

It is the internal Rear view mirror and the model is 1996 W210. the
mirror has the red and green lights and the remote censor in the
centre.
I hope that helps.

Kind regards

Are the two clips from the inside of the mirror?
The mirror has a ball joint. The ball is on the roof and two plastic
halves are pressed against the ball.
You may lost a spring from the inside of the mirror.

Hi

Yes the clips came from inside the mirror. they are two clips about 3
inches long and maybe an inch wide. The ball joint is fine, i believe
these clips must hold the black plastic plate that is part of the ball
joint to the mirror. I can clip the two halves together, but the mirror
is slightly wobbly with out these clips, but i cant see where they go.

Mine was the same.
The solution was, when snapping it back together over tha ball joint,
to do it *lower".
When snapped together high on the joint, it would continue to wobble.
There as something about the position that made a difference in how it
is set for use.

btw, The two metal items are still out. They seem to be some sort of
glide rather than sprint or clip. But w/o a diagram I can't be
certain. Still, it works without them.
