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.

They are on the mirror. You have to hook the mirror on at the top first, slide it down slightly, then pop the bottom part in. I've had my mirrors off a couple of times and the clips are beat. I'll be looking to replace them soon.

Yes, that is what we're talking about. The entire mirror pops off the posts. To remove the mirror, you're supposed to pull it off the posts from the bottom, then lift up on it. Mine has loosened up pretty good too as those clips don't seem to hold up well. Even though my mirror is loose, I don't think it is in jeopardy of falling off.

You missed on getting it hooked on up at the front...:shocked:

The mirrors are designed to break away if bumped. In most cases they do just that, but the BRP version uses a kehole clip on one corner that can break if hit from the wrong angle or muscled off during the removal process. Once you learn the technique of removing and replacing the mirrors, they work pretty well.
To remove...while supporting the outer edge of the mirror with one hand to resist your other hand, rap firmly (but not too hard) with at the outer edge toward the rear to pop the front spring clip loose. Now put the support hand at the top of the outer edge and rap firmly upward to pop loose the lower spring clip. Don't hit so hard that the mirror wants to bend up at a substantial angle...you will break the keyhole clip. With the spring clips loose, lift straight up on the mirror about 1/2" to disengage the keyhole clip, then pull the mirror outward when freed. Pull the wiring connector out of the body, and disconnect it. Reinstallation is the opposite of removal. Make sure the spring clips are straight and parellel. Some light lubrication on the outer cone of the spring clip posts is helpful. Remember that rapping firmly usually works better than pulling or tugging, either for removal or installation.
