Local cars are like disposable cutleries. They serve their purpose well when new, but fall horrendously apart as the years pile on. Anyways, the cover on my passenger side mirror (the thingy on the sun visor) broke some time back and I didn't bother to get it fixed all this while.

You can bring it to the service centre to rectify the thing, but most of the time, they'll slice your throat 7 ways then leave you hanging from the roof to drain whatever remaining blood  you have left.

So I decided to fix it myself. There are two tiny tabs which holds the cover in place. This is what a normal tab looks like.

This is what happens when the tab snaps off. Habis kena sunat.

How to fix the damn thing?

Simple.

Use weapons of mass destruction.

In this case... a drill... nyaaaahahaha... I luv these things...

Drill a hole on the area where the original tab snapped off. Shear off approx 5mm worth of plastic. Not too much, or you'll risk compromising the structural integrity of that piece of cover.

Next, you'll need a satay stick.

Jam this innocent lookin wooden anal probe into the little hole you just made on the cover.

Yes... no need to komen... my fingernails are a little dirty... but I was busy givin my engine cover a new paintjob... so pls dun mention it k?

Then cut off the excess with some scissors or box cutter. Use a file to clean off the splinters.

Now you've got a home-made wooden tab.

Align the cover back onto the visor of your car. Use a flathead screwdriver and pry the damn thing into the notch. It'll take some elbow grease to get the damn thing in... but it'll go in.

Voila.

Fixed.

And it didn't cost a damn penny.

Kowtow me now all you worthless Plotong mekaniks.
