Default 1996 S-10 Rear View Mirror Problem - 07-05-2003 , 11:52 AM






I have a 1996 S-10 LS (with the lamps on the rear view mirror, I'm not sure
they all have them), and the rear view mirror fell off. I have gotten a
repair kit (glue) for it, but the instructions say the mirror shouldn't be
on the bracket to be glued, as it has too much weight. I can't seem to find
just how to remove the mirror assembly from the bracket so I can glue it up.
Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Jason

Just glue it without taking the mount off. If you can hold it up on there
tight for about 3 minutes it will set enough to hold. be sure to scrape off
all the old glue first.

Hey, don't bother with the glue that comes with the remount kit, just use
clear silicone and tape the little metal tab in place till it's dry. believe
me, the remount kit will fall off faster than it did from new.

Must not have cleaned it well enough, followed instruction, or got a
cheap kit. My original fell off after 4 years, the remount is holding
strong after five.
