kdml 45 Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 I am trying to put together the remote mirror on my 65. I am thinking I am missing a part. The parts I have are shown in the attached picture. I can't figure out how to attach the toggle/cable mechanism to the plate which mounts to the door panel. I thought the round part shown in the picture would do it, as it has screw holes which align with the holes in the door panel plate, but the toggle just slides right out. I could not find anything in my shop manual or any pictures when searching this forum. What am I missing? Thanks Doug Link to post Share on other sites
abandg 174 Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Doug, I don't think your missing anything. Put that washer looking item over the handle and slide it past the cables, then slide it towards the handle again and if you spin it correctly it will stop at the front of the cable connector and hook the handle inside.after you have screwed it to the mirror bezel. I hope I did not confuse you. Gene. Link to post Share on other sites
kdml 45 Posted June 21, 2019 Author Share Posted June 21, 2019 Thanks Gene I tried what you explained, but can’t see how the ring hooks the handle. I found the attached picture online. It shows a second ring which I’m guessing is the part I’m missing. Now I just need to find that second ring. Link to post Share on other sites
abandg 174 Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 I see your missing the spring clip. I am sure I have it for you. I will be at the Riviera national all next week. When I return I will dig one out and mail it to you for free. If you can wait. Send me your address via an e-mail to abandg@aol.com and I will take care of it if you can wait. Gene.

kdml 45 Posted June 21, 2019 Author Share Posted June 21, 2019 Much appreciated Gene. I will send you my address. Just to confirm, I have circled the part I’m missing in the attached picture. That’s a spring clip? Link to post Share on other sites

Hans3 6 Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Looks like I need one of those spring clips as well, though my remote seems to work properly without it. If anyone has an extra to sell ... Link to post Share on other sites
