If you are having trouble getting them in you need to remove the dash cover. Or give us your email address and we will send you the install video

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

That’s interesting, Joe. I would have said the wedgies were taller than they are wide. Am I reading your comment wrong?

Ahhhhhh. Well there you go. Thanks Joe. I have installed mine incorrectly. I had real trouble getting them in the way you mention above as they appeared too wide, so I thought I had misread “top” and put them in “taller than they are wide”. They still feel pretty tight this way, but I’ll look at changing them tomorrow. Obviously BikerDave had the same issue....and I definitely removed my dash cover.

Yeah, they went in fine, Joe. I was just a bit wary of pushing too hard on the outer edge of the mirror assembly in the first instance......thanks.....I did have to put the dash cover in before I fastened the mirrors when I did it the correct way.

I reinstalled mine the correct way today and it does go in and more importantly it works. Mirrors are as solid as a rock. Thanks Joe for the video and everything,

Next time we ship a set to Australia I’ll mark the bottom “Down Under” instead of Top
Thanks for the quick shipment! I got mine on Monday and installed them this morning. I just took a few minutes and I was extremely careful with the plastic ( I had a BMW K1200LT and plastic bits seemed to disintegrate on disassembly. I had many parts glues back together on that one). I didn't like to push down on the mirrors to get wedges in but slow steady pressure reaches a sweet spot where the wedges just pop in. My only real head scratcher was reinstalling the dash cover as I had a problem with aligning one of the tabs.
It rained all night last night so I haven't had a chance to try them out yet (I didn't want to have to wash the Spyder).

Hahaha. I think my issue was that because “top” was written off to one side of the face, rather than in the centre, when it looked too wide to go in my little brain moved to “I’m reading it wrong”, mode. You know how you often see “top” or “up” stamped on the side of a box, but near the top, so stackers know which side up ? Well, that’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it, Ann
. I was concerned also about whether you allowed for those “down under” in your engineering, or if I would have to install the wedgies upside down :2thumbs:Pete

Just out of interest, Bob......did you try to reinstall the dash cover after you had screwed the mirrors back in? I had the same problem getting one side in, so I unscrewed the mirror again and the dash cover went in easily.
