Hey well I was just bored one day and started taking pieces of my car off. lol yea but uhh I unscrewed the screw behind the rearview mirror and well it didn't do anything except make it very loose. I cannot get the screw back in. I tried soo hard but it will not stay in there. Is there a special way to do this? Any help would be appreciated. It is getting annoying.

 

hahha ahh man i was bored one day and did the same thing
i basically took of everything you can in the xb and put it back
exept for that damn rear view mirror it wont screw back in!
same problem here SOME ONE PLEASE HELP!

-i might just buy a new one hahah

 

never looked at an xB mirror, but what do you mean by loose? like it shakes when you drive now?

 

Haha wow great minds think a like huh? haha aw well any help anybody?!!?!?!?!? I don't understand this at all?!

 

not saying it will help, but do you have a pic for those of us without a box?

 

It won't help at all... it's just the back of the mirror with a screw missing... nothing more else you can really see.. I don't understand it at all... puzzling it is..

 

lol that is the screw for the tensioner on the mirror with out that the mirror just goes whereever it wants good luck getting it back in

 

Awwww soooo there's no way in fixing this????? I can't believe that!!!! I'm gonna try and take it to the dealership and see if they can fix it.

 

Uh, I believe the tensioner is held in place and the screw put in and tightened before the glass is cemented in place. I suspect the dealer's 'fix' will be to sell you a new mirror...

 

no way! here's what you do: put a little bit of glue in the hole and put the screw back in so nobody can tell, and then take it to the dealership and tell them it's busted so they fix it under warranty!

 

AHH man... the domelight screwed up... now this!!!!!!!!!!!! ARGH! So frustrating...

 

Hey guys! Guess what. I actually just took it into the dealership today and they fixed it right up! Soo now it's fixed up and I'm happy now! No charge either.

 

nice! I'd say you probably got lucky though.

 

Hmmmmmmm... be nice to know what they did.

 

they could probably tell ya what they did.. .but then they'd send their Ninja Gnomes out after you and your car would be left in neat little piles all disassembled the next day...

 

I just remember the guy taking the entire mirror out and shaking it and then something loose was inside rattling around... after that they took it back and fixed me up. Didn't take but 5 minutes or so.

 

Betcha they grabbed a different one...

 

Hahaha wouldn't that be nice! It doesn't matter to me either way... it's fixed and I'm happy. :D

 

same thing happened to me...... if i had only know how difficult it would have been.

 

lol, i was about to remove that screw. thank goodness for this forum. btw, does anyone know how to remove the mirror?
