Re: Mirror Repair

I have done these several times with great success! Theirs a snap ring holding the spring loaded glass into the housing. Remove it and remove the glass and spring. You will see the ball held by a piece of metal that is basically held in by smashing two tabs like rivet heads. I use a 1/4 drill bit to remove the heads freeing the metal plate. Now by testing remove a small amount of metal from the two studs. Now the tricky part, using a # 43 drill bit, drill down the center of the two studs making sure you don't go to deep and go through the housing. Next using a 4-40 tap, tap the two holes you just drilled making sure you support the tap at all times as you could crack the studs. At that point in time you're back to the super glue/Locktite method! )-: Using two 4-40 screws, flat washers & lock washers replace the metal tab and tighten the screws just tight enough to keep the ball compressed or tight, but adjustable! Replace the spring, glass and snap ring then the mirror to your door. Next adjust to suet and drive, watching things behind you and not the stripes separating the lanes! (-;

As far as the inside mirror that’s simple, some use a Philips head screw and others use an Allen head screw to tighten the ball. Again tighten just enough to keep tight but adjustable!
