Hello I have a Toyota Avensis 1998 1.8
My wing mirror hit a bird the other day,
and smashed the wing mirror causing it also to come loose, I have replaced some new glass over the old broken glass but I can not get the mirror to fit in to housing.
the mirror is electric also heated, there are 3 pivots balls to try an push it onto one main center (, black) then two yellow/blue smaller pivot balls.
Any Help would be good.
Many Thanks

Hello, Even though you can buy the mirror glass separately can be difficult to install. Sometimes you can just give it a "pop" and the glass will set in, other times you must replace the mirror as a unit.
