Door mirror glass

No problem. If it is broken the inner motor part just unscrews so you could get a crash damaged mirror cheap and swap the motor part over.
I think the mirror is just sold as a complete unit now hence the uncertainty about it being sealed??
This also helps if you want to replace/paint the outer cover
Feel free to stick this on the how to's Martin if you wish

I think this should be a 'sticky' www.bigjimny.com/index.php/forum/6-jimny...r-mirror-glass#73975 ..... or added to one already great post imo thanks ............. ;)

+1

Agreed, anything with pictures that explains ought to be.



Can't find a thumbs up smily either!

Earlier mirrors are different inside. The glass holder is held on in 4eg places on pegs and clips. Should be a similar removal task though.

Great pics

Right, took the glass out and it is not going to go back in a hurry. Why, because the means by which it is held in place seems to have been broken in the past and glued back together.
Check out the pics - note that the motor part seems unlike the ones in the pics earlier unless I have a different view.



There is a centre strip on the motor unit that locates in a corresponding slot in the plastic at the back of the glass. The centre strip has sheared off at some time and I can see the glue that had been used to stick it back. It therefore did not take much for me to re-break it and pull the mirror off. I am going to have to hold the mirror glass in place with elastic bands.

Take a close look at the slot of plastic and you'll see the broken bit in there.




So now I don't really know what to do for the best. I should have left it in place though I guess the glass would eventually drop out.

Bit confusing as you are running 2 posts. I thought you had a later car. They changed the mirror in 2005 mine is the later one so my info is useless to you.
looks like a new mirror required.
Plenty on ebay!
You could try a large dollop of sealant in the centre and press the mirror in to place while sitting in the car to get the correct angle until it dries or use tape?
The mirror is useless anyway and it might do until you get another.
I think there are a few people breaking jimnys in the for sale/wanted ads on here.
Might be worth contacting them.
