has neone ever taken the rear view mirror off and put it back on? i got it off but i cant put it back on

 

dont know but ur car is sick..............

 

i should take that as a compliment right??? if so den thanks! just sucks my rear view mirror is not up

 

yeah...your car is awesome...anyway....rearveiw mirrors are glued onto the windsheild....mine fell off before (too much bass, too hot, and poorly put on)....broguht it to the dealer...and im pretty sure they glued it back on...every other car ive seen the mirror is glued....unless they've changed it on newer cars

 

noooo its not glued... it slides out... and there is a metal plate that is stuck on the windshield...
ahhh njtls... u have the alpine navi... i want it sooo bad but im just tryin to find a good deal on them...let me borrow urs and u can report it stolen

 

lol..i have it on order actually...im just so excited to be getting it that i just stuck everything in my sig ....i ordered it from etronics.com btw....1471 shipped...lowest i could fine on the web..

and well the metal plate is glued to the windsheild then... the dealer told me they glued soemthing

 

You can get glue for that at your local auto store, mirror in my truck has done it a couple of time. Esp. when it's really hot out.

 

i dont think glue will has anything to do with it... its not like other cars... to detach the mirror u had to slide it off from that metal plate that is stuck on the windshield...

 

May I ask why you took it off?

 

the ball joint of my mirror was broken so it was really loose... like if i change lanes and i would go over those lil road turtles it would move down so i would had to keep on adjusting it... and i had to turn down music when i drive cuz the bass would make it move down too...

 

Can't you slide it in the metal receiver clip then glue the clip. The Receiver is glued and the mirror is an insert.

 

the receiver clip is already on the winshield..i dont see why we need to glue since i dont see no trace of glue when i took it off...i slid it into place but its loose and it slides right back down... it also wobbles... i think i might have to take it to acura next week if i cant figure out how to do dis...

 

well, if it slide back out when u slide it in, then somethings wrong. def take it to the dealer.

 

i think i got it fixed... i just need a damn hammer to hammer down the clips that holds into that receiver clip.

 

dont miss

 

The metal plate is part of the windshield. You have to squeeze the metal clips together (needle nose plyers worked) on the mirror housing to get it to fit snugly. I had my windshield replaced on my '99, and the mirror was loose. After about 10 minutes of playing with the metal clips, I got it to fit perfectly.

No glue needed.

 

yea your right rfrys... i gotta squeeze the metal clips together...
