Mirrors - New `Break-Away' Design
Break-awayCivic/Prelude Mirrors
The new '92 Preludes and Japan-produced Civics have "break-away" rearview mirrors. If an over-zealous car wash attendant knocks one off while cleaning the windshield, it's easy to fix.
Retrieve the toothed lock washer and hold spring (probably from the floor of the car), then reassemble the mirror as shown. (If they're lost, the lock washer, spring, and lock bolt can be ordered separately.) Don't forget that the lock bolt has left hand threads.
