Well I was in the garage cleaning , and droped a box on the 06 Vector hitting the windshield . At first thought nothing happened , then saw that it popped the side panel off next to the instument cluster and broke the plastic "nut " / tube that is on the mask , thong , trim , or what ever it is called around the headlight that the screw goes into to hold inside triangler trim to the mask to keep the windshield tight .
1) I have wanted to change the black mask out for a red one , but hated the price tag when I checked a couple of years ago .
2) I have wanted mirrors and was leaning twards venture mirrors .
3) So will the venture mirrrors hold the mask now that the tube / nut the screw goes into , is broke off the mask ?
4) Do I have any chance of finding another mask used ?
5) Do I order a mask for a venture so it has the for the hole for the mirrors ?
Well that might be as clear as mud now , I'm not sure I understand it ??!!
Thanks Doc !!
 
Check the Classifieds on a daily basis, there are sled part outs every now and then. RX-1, Warrior, Venture, Vector, Rage plastics will fit as they are the same partno in all these models.
 
Question #3:

The grommets that the screws go into are just that, like a grommet. When I gave the Vec a gentle roll, I ended up in the same situation. Take things apart and you should be able to find it on top of the motor or someplace close.
 
Just to clear up what's broke , a screw comes in thru a piece next to the instument cluster and screws into the back side of the piece around the head lite . The threaded piece on the back of the headlite trim is broken off and still on the screw in the piece beside the instument cluster .
 
I've epoxied(added some fiberglass strands to the epoxy) two of these back on with a 50/50 success rate. Not sure how it would work with the mirror kit you mentioned. Of course, when the epoxy fails, the little side piece usually falls off when you don't notice.....
