Hi,
Can someone explain how to fit the interior mirror, is it slide or twist?
I've struggled to attach and I worry about cracking the screen

Though my interior mirror is different from this one, it goes against the screen 120 degs out & twists into place. I'd suggests this 1 goes against the screen 180 degs out & twists into place. ???

As a follow up to this I did manage to fit the mirror. The disc on the screen sits in a recess on the top of the mirror. I slid it in to place with the aid of a stout zip tie to get the pull I needed. Once in place it wobbled, possibly because the clip was damaged when it was removed at the breakers. This was cured by sliding a slither of old plastic card between the stem and screen to pack it out. We'll have to wait to see how long it stays in place.
