Interesting you mentioned using a hammer to reinstall the mirror.

Probably 10 years back or longer I knocked off the mirror or took it off so the glass shop could replace the window.
Too many yrs ago to remember.

Getting it back on, I tried everything and was pulling my hair out for a solution.
Then thought of using two hammers. Had Wife sit on the drivers side and hold the mirror in tight.
Then from the pass side I used two HF Dead Blow hammers. Set the handle against the Mirror base,
and whacked the head with another Dead Blow. She popped right in....
well after a few failed attempts, I final gave it a shot of WD-40 or Kroil to help snap her home.

I have had the same failed attempts popping off mirrors at PNP, and have the Ball Socket break.
The plastic cracks, and then the mirror doesn`t hold tight to the ball.

We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works
