Help C7 Driver Vanity Mirror Broken

[YFCvii]

Damn ... new item to repair on my “to-do” List. Is there a fix for the Driver Mirror without replacing the Visor? I hope so ....

I am hoping I can pop this out but who knows

I just had to repair the one on my C5 Vert, wife didn't fully engage the top
locks and it popped the plastic pegs that hold the assembly to the backer board.
If it is the same as the C5 there are 8 plastic pegs holding it to a masonite backer board
that is installed in the middle of the visor. I had to snap the rest of the pegs off (pulled with
force). Once the assembly was removed from visor I disconnected lights , removed mirror
which is held in by two clamps at top and then drilled holes where pegs were. Reconnected
lights, installed mirror, then using tiny button head screws screwed through front into masonite
backer. Worked fine. I used black screws to match black plastic assembly.
Before you try this you might Google it and see what others say, but it is a common issue.
I think the dealer would tell you you have to replace visor.

Ya ... I already anticipate what the Dealer remedy is ... and this visor also has the universal home remote in it too

on my agenda ... but thought maybe someone here may be closer to the end of their “seven years” with a fix

thx
