Windshield mounted rearview mirror came off in my hand the other morning. It was mounted in the wrong place anyway and would not allow for full movement of the sun visors. So, time to re-affix.
I have the sticky pad on order from Pelican, but am having trouble removing the mirror from the mounting base? I have removed the screw, but still the thing does not want to budge. Is there a trick to this? |

QUOTE(sdoolin @ Aug 17 2015, 05:52 AM)  Windshield mounted rearview mirror came off in my hand the other morning.

I have the sticky pad on order from Pelican, but am having trouble removing the mirror from the mounting base? I have removed the screw, but still the thing does not want to budge. Is there a trick to this? That can get tricky. Not to scare you, but to make you aware of what can happen, I watched a glass vetran at a glass shop crack my windshield on my 69 nova as he attempted to "pop" the mirror off. As far as the visor issue, I found this thread. http://www.914world.com/bbs2/lofiversion/i...hp?t221574.html I'm doing the bmw mirror. You can find them in eBay for cheap if you search "Porsche 914 mirror bmw" |
