Screws on the back of mirrors

[hanwoon]

Some mirrors come with 2 screw at its back to tigthen the joint.

I removed the screw but realised can't put it back.

the 'nut' inside the mirror had moved and there's nothing for the screw to 'bite'.

 

Some friemds told me the 'catch' / nut had dropped and the only way is to smashed / remove the piece of mirror to put the screw back with the 'nut ..

 

Any advise ???'

Lesson learned - never remove the screw completely.

Remove the mirror from the handlebar, place it flat against the ground (on the level). This is to ensure that gravity doesn't work against you.

 

Slowly poke around with a toothpick or paperclip until the nut is aligned, then try screwing the bolt back on.
