my rear view mirror has come loose from the constant bumps of the crappy roads i suppose (along with lowered springs = bumpy)

it wasnt that bad but was slightly annoying as each time i went over a violent bump (such as going over where a bridge join in the road is if you get what i mean) its moves a little and i have to adjust. Now, i was trying to take it off and whilst moving around a bit it didnt want to come off.

Now my question may sound extremely dumb as taking off a mirror sounds simple, but how exactly do you take it off?? At the moment i jsut cant see how...

:D

i wish it was attached to the window but its attached to the roof remember...and thats where it is loose as i think a screw has gone missing as the right side of where its attached is secure but the left hand side is moving.

The only way i can see that you can get to it is if you start taking off the roof carpet so you can access it (or i suppose you could jsut tear the mirror off but i dont think il do that). I'll go have another fiddle with it now. Cheers guys.

What car?

In an R32 there is a cover over where the arm attaches to the roof, get a smallish flatblade screwdriver and pry this cover off, then you should see three screws holding the mirror to the roof, the rest is self explanatory

    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
    • Do you have some data like fuel pressure? It's really hard to say if you're still fighting a fuel system issue at this point. Could be something weird like the FPCM dipping out.
    • Yeah in that case, pulling the dent out. Event a very slight dent can create a lot of work filler-wise and there is a strong chance the panel won't be the factory shape when you are done (as the dent will result in a new high point created somewhere, then everything is brought up to that new high point... but the panel shouldn't be that high if that makes sense).  So you've filled and primed the panel and it is flat, why would you go back and remove the primer and add more filler? 
    • Something else I have been faffing with while the car was off the road is making the AC work. Assuming the car isn't at a thermal limit the idea of having AC while waiting in line to go on track sounds delightful. I have actually been lugging around the weight of the entire system since 2018 when the RB25NEO went in without it working at all.  The main reason was in the first few events before I got around to re-gassing it the rubber hose that runs under the manifold had the factory heat wrap/sleeve fail resulting in this: ~2 years ago I purchased a complete used R32 AC line set but when I finally went to install it the line i needed was different where the expansion section is I found a local place that was able to replace the rubber section and re-crimp. They also added some modern heat sleeve to the hose Tight fit but fingers crossed this is the last physical piece of the puzzle needed
