Hi Friends,

I have an 81 T-Top. The outside driver rearview mirror fell off. The glass and plastic bracket holding it are fine. The electric motor works.

But I cannot find anyone who can reattach the mirror to the electric motor. Looks like a couple of screws are missing on the mirror support.

Any suggestions on sourcing the missing screws?

Thanks,

Tex

Am I not understanding something. My 82 drivers side mirror glass came off and it was a little "X" fastener that let the mirror motor push the mirror around. I do not remember any screws. The mirror just snapped onto this "X" fastener.

In fact I have a second one that I decided not to pop the other one off and replace it. Do not remember where I got the fastener or what it cost but it was not much if someone wants it send me a PM with address and I will put it in the mail.
