Metal circle on windscreen!
#1 Metal circle on windscreen!
I should know this I'm sure and its probably a daft question .. however on windscreen there is a round metal object on the windscreen near where the rear view mirror is. Its got a hole in the middle of it. What the heck is this?!

Sounds like the mount for a series 2 rear view mirror. I wouldn’t try to remove it!

That’s exactly what was present on my imported series 1.5 - a mirror fixing
I didn’t like it and wanted to fit the more normal mirror mounted on the central rod.
Took the gamble and with a piece of hardwood pressed against it gave it a tap with a hammer and off it came.
Fair job to remove the residual adhesive though.

Not sure I'm brave enough to knock it off! So did series 1.5's have a series 2 mirror. I know of all the other differences and I know some had all of these and some had a few. However never knew about this difference.
