This morning I mounted a new $13.99 10" day/night mirror (O'reilly's auto parts)
(Plus a tiny tube of mirror adhesive)
Like many, my auto mirror has been getting that oil separation for years & I heard horror stories about them dripping.
I reluctantly followed the Rave & fulcrumed the old mirror mount DOWN, pushing the mount off it's windshield mounted base. (they were right.)
I snuck my wife's fingernail polish out & Q-tip soaked the old base (repeat for 15min or as long as A.D.D. allows)
I then started tapping with my sharp gasket scraper (A.D.D.) until the old mount popped off.
Clean with nail polish remover - same with back of new mount
I followed directions, (RARE) and primed and mounted the new mount about 1" below top of glass. After an eternity (60 seconds) it was on, now do something else for a half hr while it cures (Poo)
I mounted mirror, as expected, the new one is more hieght adjustable, clearing another inch or so of visibility thru' windshield!! (I'm 6'2")
Nice
luck,greg
