    Protege tab repair

    Pics of the repair to the plastic motor housing tabs I did.
    I cleaned the tab area good with denatured alcohol and the aluminum piece I made to form a new tab(see pics). I then sanded the tab area and alum. piece with medium sand paper. Then cleaned all again, then used 5 minute epoxy to glue the alum. piece on in place of the tab. I made the alum. piece long on top for more glue surface area. Kinda can see the length of the alum. piece from the slihgtly blurred close up pic.

    ^ BTW. That aluminum strip is only about .040 thick and can be bent using 2 pliers. The bottom came loose, as not very much glue there, but is holding up really good even with the bottome loose. Still tight and no shaking.

        Just do like me. Walk from Protege to Protege and peek into the sides of every power mirror. Sooner or later you'll find some that have both ears.
