vanity mirror flaps loose
Hello,
I am finally getting around to replacing both vanity mirrors (210 810 25 10 7D84). I bought a pair (Orion brand) and I have them installed but when I open the flaps, they are just a tiny bit loose and to actuate the light I have to push up on the flap just a bit on them. Even if I do that they fall back down a bit so the light goes off. I also applied some manual pressure on the metal tabs before install which helped but not enough. Is there a simple hack anyone has used so that plastic tab in the middle hits the actuator switch. I was thinking a small piece of stryofoam or maybe there is a step I am not taking which is causing this.
Thanks

Yeah I didn't like the idea of that but I hear the OEM ones tend to break anyways so was trying to save a few bucks. I do like to get original mb parts but ehh, I'll see what I can do to fix it.
