robb1 Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Hello all. My 98 legacy outbacks outside drivers mirror seems to be missing the bottom bolt that attaches it to the car. Does anyone know best way to fasten it....and what specific size bolt it needs? Im assuming metric but not sure . Thank You to all who read and reply !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

brus brother Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 Are you actually viewing it from inside the door panel?? If you remove the triangular shaped piece on the inside aspect of the door relative to the mirror (sometimes there are tweeter speakers mounted here) there are retaining nuts that attach to bolts that are affixed to the mirror. IIRC, the lower nut holds the speaker in place over the same bolt from the mirror. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D..rats! Thought the bolts were affixed (permanaently) to the mirror mounting plate and there were nuts that attached from the inside. If it looks as though the threaded shaft will thread into the mirror mounting plate, take the remaining nut off and match the thread and bolt size at a hardware store.

86BRATMAN Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 They should be permanently fix to the morro itself. Somebody has probably overtightened it and broke it off or broke it out of the housing. If you remove the mirror from the car, you may be able to repair/replace the broken one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
