Smoke & Mirrors...

Well...more like drinks & mirrors.
S2 interior rear vision mirror decided to commit suicide but for the wire on it saving it from certain death and letting it dangle from the windscreen. It looks like it has been fixed before a bit on the cheap. Is there anything to get dried rearvision mirror glue/crud of the windscreen so I can restick it?. I am hoping not to scrape it as the black dotted stuff goes under it and I dont want to scratch through it to be visible outside.

The drink holder in the front console is driving me nuts. It wont stay in, it clicks and clunks pushing it in, then first little bump and out it comes. I read with interest in a recent post about taking springs out and having it manual, but where are they and how do you get the #$%^ thing to come all the way out? I might have to go to contortionist classes to twist my body upside down and sideways to get a better look at it, but the missus laughed her head off to see my knees and feet sticking up where my head should have been on the seat back!!!!

Any sugggestions (about the car) would be much appreciated.

Um, just pull it and it will come off, there may be a few little plastic tabs you can shove to get it to unlock from the frame.

try nail varnish remover, it usually gets rid of that sticky **** left behind when removing stickers

did you get this hot tip from the gaylander girls??

WD40 sometimes works too (depending on the glue used) and there is usually a tin rolling around somewhere in most toolbox's.
"Nail varnish remover" what do you keep in your toolbox Yella ?

A tip from my brother-in-law when he was a marine engineer was to always keep clear nail varnish and a packet of condoms in your toolkit - very handy for waterproofing and locking small screws.

Did I just admit to knowing that and taking heed of his advice...

Down to Boots for me then!
Do you think I will be able to clam the VAT back?

Thanks for the tips guys... I have some WD40 in the toolbox, and I will hold off asking the cheese & kisses for her nail polish remover for a bit, although she did suggest eucalyptus oil. If that doesnt work, at least the car will smell nice

Stil wrestling with the @#$%^& front cup holders!!!!
