Rearview mirror removal
I have had problem with my sagging sun visors for quite some time so I finally did a little INTERNET research on how to resolve the problem.
The first step, removal of the review mirror, is where I need a little help.
One set of instructions I found said to grab the mirror with both hands while sitting in the drivers seat and rotate it toward you.
Now I don’t believe the writer wanted me to grab the mirror as much as he wanted me to grab the “J-shaped” bracket the mirror is mounted on and rotate it toward me – here I believe he is suggesting rotating it counter-clockwise.
I tried grabbing the mirror bracket (with the ball at the end on which the actual mirror sits) and rotating it counter-clockwise, but no luck.
I have tried several times and it does not seem to move. Before I try with greater force I want to make sure I am following the correct directions.
Anyone done this?
I know the sagging sun visors are a common problem.
Maybe someone can point me to some more detailed instructions to the whole process of fixing the sun visor problem or at least tell me that I should be grabbing the actual mirror instead of the bracket.
