Fitting a 207 Mirror - Is there an easy way for an idiot to fit one?

Dec 03, 2008 1 Replies

Hello Everyone (again), right then.



I now in my hands have a trusty 207 wing mirror - strange to have to replace the whole unit just to fix a bit of plastic - but who am i to suggest that peugout are mad.....



Anyway, bought it, and was told that its easy to fit, only three screws, and voila the jobs a goodun' and only an idjit' could mess it up.



Right - im that Idjit.



Just out of curiosity, where are the screws?



And is it really reasy to do, or am i asking for trouble by attempting this myself?



And once im done, anyone want a used 207 mirror with no capping?



And i dont mind being called an idiot - im happy to admit that while i can watercool computers down, while squeezing every last mhz out of their components, car's are a mystery to me!



Im a Car repair virgin! and if i can save =A3100 worth of fitting by having ago, what have i lost, apart from self respect when i fail miserably!



Ta!

Don't know the 207 but if it's anything like the Ford Fiesta I used to have then you'll have to take off the interior door panel to get at the screws. Took me an hour to get that panel off just to undo 2 screws..!
