SERIOUS help needed
Hi guys,
I am in the middle of converting my side mirrors to the 2010 version. I bought the set from Germany. When the boxes arrived last month, one of these rings were missing. Basically the ring attached to the hinge part of the side mirror that connects to the "ear" side on the car. It's outer diameter is about 35mm and the inner diameter is about 25mm. It's made of shiny aluminium and its purpose I think is to be able to make the side mirror turn by step-by-step on the autofold.
I asked Steve (mbenzNL) for help but he's been away for a long time on business and installs and I've been sitting here with 1 mirror can't be installed. I asked the dealership but they told me to buy the WHOLE inner assembly which is ridiculous because I only need this one ring.
My hope is maybe someone here has an unused or broken 2010 side mirror where the ring can be salvaged and send to me. I am willing to pay for it as long as it's not for something crazy.
Here's a pic:
PLEASE HELP ME guys. I'd be eternally grateful!
