how do i put my sideview mirror back on?

[Squeegy410]

This morning i was driving to school and some papers fell from my visor. when i tried to catch them i drove off the road slightly and my mirror hit a huge solid iron mail box. it didnt break the glass, but it did tear the mirror off. the miror is not damaged, just has a long spring coming out. how do i route this spring back into the door and onto my truck correctly? thanks for any help as always.

Most MJ mirrors will snap into place, depending what kind you have. That spring should provide tension to hold the mirror in place once it is snapped in place.

the spring is suposed to hook into the door somewhere. any idea where?

There should be a little metal rod with a hole in the end sticking about an inch out of the door that the spring hooks to. If it's still original, it probably rusted away.
