    Does anybody have any idea (preferably with idiot-proof instructions) about how the rear-view mirror re-attaches?

    I was cleaning the inside of the windscreen today and knocked the rear-view mirror which just popped off.

    I've tried several times to re-attach but I'm obvious missing the knack!

    I've got the main mirror and the bit of plastic duct that hides the wiring loom, I assume it twists and locks somehow but any pointers would be great.

    Cheers,

    Alex

    To answer my own question, you need to remove the plastic sleeve that covers the wiring loom, line up the metal clips with the holes (approx 25 degrees off vertical), push in and twist approx 25 degrees clockwise till the clips snap into place and the mirror is vertical again.

    You can then jiggle the sleeve back over the wiring loom and snap into place.

    Thanks! I did the same thing cleaning my windshield. The key was removing the plastic sleeve that covers the wiring loom. After that, I was able to figure out how to "twist" it on.
