On this version, the mirror kind of slots into the metal plate on the windscreen, but basically wobbles all over the place without the bolt. The bolt goes through the base of the mirror which is threaded with the end pushing against the plate. Basically it is the only thing that really fixes it to the screen - it is pretty intrinsic to the fixing of the mirror. Glue might be possible, but it isn't a direct fitting between the two sections as they have to be slid together - it would probably cause a bit of a mess and there might not be much glue left in contact. It seems pretty odd that they wouldn't have just gone for a standard metric bolt. I keep trying sellers who are breaking or those selling the mirrors themselves on eBay, but have had little joy in finding someone who hasn't discarded the bolt. I have one option at the moment which looks like the right thing but a long delivery time for some reason. From a 2010 model so I hope that wouldn't have changed...

Thanks. Yes I have found the same now, but still no real joy. An M4 hex bolt is too small and an M5 too big. I am not even sure you can get an M4.5. I asked the dealer and they suggest they can't get the bolt separately, so only choice is to buy the full assembly - around £1k or so... The only thing I can think of is to keep looking on eBay for anyone selling a mirror with the bolt, buy it, then sell the mirror again.

It is the screw that would normally fix to the bracket on the windscreen. Photo attached as best I could.

Does anyone know the size/spec for this - ours is missing at the moment and can't get anything from a dealer at the moment? Thanks

Hello all. I haven't had my RX for long (January), but the 'hybrid' badges on the bottoms of the rear doors on my RX 450h look really tatty where the paint is coming off. The local dealer has quoted £340 to replace these, which I presume means they would replace both of the trims and the badges together. I can see that there are self-adhesive Hybrid badges on eBay for the CT200 which look pretty similar, but has anyone had any experience in replacing these themselves, or via a cheaper route? Thanks.
