I am sure mine is held on with two screws ,I had a look on e bay for a replacement and I can see no screws?

and if I am not completly going bonkers, can you just change the mirror bit to go on the arm?

The rear view mirror has no screws. It is a press fit and can be twisted up and out (or down and out :D )

Rear view mirror? Dunno if mine's different to CovKids but you twist it through approx 45 degrees (clockwise I think) and then it drops/pulls out.

Nobody was doubting the existence of the screws. Just that you will not find another T3 rear view mirror that is fixed with screws unless, like yours, they have been added by a previous owner :wink:

Well there would be, wouldn't there. Yours is not stock (well I've never seen one like that) so we have nothing to compare to I'm afraid. You sure it doesn't have Transit written on the back? :D

Heck, the dictionary on 80/90 is irritating sometimes, makes my post look more derogatory :evil:
