Grrrr, somebody has bent back my car's wing mirror, but towards the bonnet rather than towards the window.


I have tried to pull it back into position but I can't budge it.


I have googled, and it seems that with some cars the mirror will move both ways, but with other it won't and if you're not careful you can damage the door (and/or break off the mirror completely).


It's an old Nissan Micra. Does anybody happen to know what will happen if I use massive force on the mirror? Is it likely to break off?


For obvious reasons, I am concerned about driving the car without it. Thanks.

Try to check how the mirror is attached. It may be attached by a bolt at the point where the mirror pivots. In my experience an Alan Key might do the job. If you loosen the bolt it will allow the mirror to pivot more easily and you can bring it back to where it needs to be and re tighten the bolt.

    • Remember, you never know what someone else is going through behind closed doors....
    • Is anyone else having difficulty booking Silver Swim sessions (Tuesday and Thursday between 3pm-4pm?) Almost all the spaces are taken before the online booking system opens at 10pm several days before. Last night there appeared to be one space available for next Tuesday. I tried to book at one second past 10pm but was unsuccessful. This seems to have been a recent phenomenon. I made a telephone call this morning but just received a recorded message saying that the voicemail box was full. Am I right in assuming that in person bookings are now taking precedence over online ones?
    • I completely agree with you, Angelina. But it's worth noting that no one else has a problem with her, or finds her rude /  has mentioned her aggressively banging gates / ringing doorbells etc. 
    • But I don't think that was what you meant, was it? But he can hardly be held responsible for what somebody else did! Just discovered I forgot to post the above  last night, and now it's overtaken by long posts.  I don't have sufficient knowledge  to counter some of what has been said above, some of which appears to be opinion rather than facts, so it would be pointless for me to say anything else.
