HELP, BROKEN HEADLIGHT HINGE!!!!

Everything that doesn't belong in the previous categories probably belongs here. Interiour (how are the seats mounted? how to remove the CEM?) and exteriour (how to replace the popup-lights shock absorbers or a door) are discussed here!

HELP, BROKEN HEADLIGHT HINGE!!!!

Post by doingitsideways » Sun Jun 10, 2012 11:57 am

well, whilst talking to a mate this morning, about how much I love my 480, I leaned on my headlights...

CRUNCH!!

Idiot!! :(

So, I desperately need a left hand headlight hinge if anyone has one knocking around??

Cheers fellas,

the hinges are plastic - one on either side of the popup . Do you need one or two hinges ?

Shit happens. I think the plastic gets weaker over the years.
