9/12 |
A couple of weeks ago I "accidently" ripped the passenger side mirror off my 92 Breakaway. Velvac sent me working drawings & instructions for fixing it which were very helpful. The problem is the plywood that it was screwed into seems to have "disappeared" in the wall. I am guessing that it splintered and fell down inside the wall requiring the removal of the passenger window to access the void. QUESTIONS: (1) Has anyone removed one of these windows? (2) What is inside the wall? (3) Does anyone have pictures/schematics showing the construction before I tear into this? Thank you.

had a similar loose mirror mount...when I removed mirror found it was sheetmetal screwed to MH exterior skin and screw holes had enlarged over time. Cut some 1/8th inch sheet aluminum to a size slightly larger than mirror base...drilled a 1" wire loom hole in the center and 4 small pilot holes for the new (larger) stainless sheetmetal screws...used construction adhesive to fasten this new plate to MH...re-attached mirror and wiring and its been nice and tight with less vibration than before. I did not find any factory plywood backer plate. I chose to cut wires where they entered dash area and remove mirror completely to repaint. If you don't want to go that route just cut a slot in 1/8 plate from the 1" wire hole you drilled and just slip wire loom in before gluing plate. good luck Bob and Jan Orr Canadian Barth owners 94 30ft.

Odd. On mine, the driver's side mirror was working loose. I removed, all but one screw, and filled the holes with J-B Weld fortified with aluminum shavings, redrilled, and reinstalled. Mine has a plywood backing plate.
