how do I put my rearview mirror back on??

[rangerdanger14]

I have the ball type setup for my rearview mirror on my 95 and no matter how hard I try to.force It on it just won't go... what's the right way to do this??

You may need to remove the other part from the windshield and then reglue it.

DO NOT REMOVE THE METAL PART FROM THE WINDSHIELD! go buy another piece and glue it ontop of the old one.... if you try to pry it off, in most cases you crack the windshield. sometimes there is a screw that holds the mirror to the metal part. they make a special glue for regluing rearview mirrors, and it works a little better if you sand the contact points before gluing.

Even If I do take that part off though... what is still the best way to put it back on to the mirror? Because I try to force it on to the point where I almost crack the windshield so there has to be a special truck or something

for $10 at wally world, i'd just buy a whole new mirror and put it on there.

Heat the ball socket part up in some hot water, then try again.

how do i take it off of the windshield

It will slide upwards and off the the metal mount that is glued to the windshield. There might be a small set screw in the bottom of it to hold it on.

in my 94 there is no set screw, that you need to do is take a thin punch or pick and there is a channel on the cottom side of the mirror, stick your pick in and pull the mirror up and is should slide off
