Problem, the mirrir arm crushes the body before the door is fully opened. Took out the screy after it nicked the paint ;-((
I am thinking of trimming off the flat at the end of the arm to give the door some more room to open.
I have the same problem but wors on the passanger side.
Any one else had similar probelms.
The body shop did build up the hinge a lot, and it is catching, but I do not think that that is the core problem.

Just pull the pin and slide the tab in between and put the pin back. The tab should keep the mirror arm in place. I'm not sure why they added a stop bolt. I did the same thing the first time. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 40 Junior Member | | Junior Member Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 40 | I think I get it.
I just looked, it will be a tight squeese to get it in but i will try.
If it fits in there, then the mirror will not move at all, is that correct?
thanks
