F3L mirror shell keeps coming off

[RazzleH]

Razzle, just by way of clarification. The nut/bolt solution you are looking to buy for your F3 does NOT stop the covers from falling off. It is to correct the mirror vibration. The other issue is that the painted mirror covers fall off. This is a separate issue, and can only be rectified by adjusting the clips that the covers push into, or by something like a small piece of tape underneath. Hopefully I haven’t misunderstood what you are saying……..from the late ‘21 builds, both these issues were supposedly rectified by BRP. I have had no issue with either on my late built ‘21 RT, but my ‘16 F3-L certainly had both issues.

My coverd have never fallen off, Peteoz. Each time (5 times total) it has been the complete mirror assembly/s hanging by its electric cable. I hope Slingmods bolts do the trick, leaving no longer any need for embarrasing black tape.

Ahhhhhhh. When you kept mentioning tape, I thought you must have had a cover issue as well, Razzle. Fingers crossed the new fasteners do the trick for you:thumbup:

Decision made: slingmods.com. Costs; US$26.95 plus freight to Oz US$35.00. No glues, no magnets, no worries???

If Slingmods hasn't sent it yet ..... call and see if they will send it via USPS ...... USPS sells priority Mailing boxes ( that are good for international use ) for Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay less than $ 35.00 .... more like $10.00 depending on the size ..... good luck .... Mike :thumbup:

Thanks Mike, but too late. It's in the system. Postage costs have almost completely stopped me from purchasing in the US and I'll keep an eye out for USPS in future. Probably save me a quid if I stop perusing US Spyder sites too, lol.

I'm sure if you Google it ( the USPS mailing box ) it will have an actual pic of it - enlarge it and you read what it says .... good luck ... Mike :thumbup: PS .. I did and it does say " domestic & international .....

I found these clips at an auto parts store Dorman 963-211D GM Trim Panel Clip, 2 Pack. They are available on Amazon also. I put these clips on and when I snapped the shell into place it went on tight, tried to pull it off and seemed very tight. I'll see how it works out in Florida next month.
