When I headed out of the city last night, it was about 92 degrees F.
Just west of the city, on the divided, 1-lane portion of the highway, the gray goo holding the lens in place got so warm it loosened and the lens flew off. There was no way I could stop and go get it. So, I just watched it get smaller and smaller in the rear view mirror.
I'm the 2nd or 3rd owner of this 2001 Ranger.
The gray goo around the edges of the lens has the consistency of chewing gum.
It's like a sticky version of plumbers putty.
It sure seems a poor method of holding it together!
Can this be the original method that Ford used to hold the lens in place??
