Is there a way to unstick or remove the base surface that sticks to the mirror? Mine broke at the knob right where both join.I was thinking a heat gun

Nestor, Mine broke at the same location. I used a scrapper with a razor blade, just inserted it under the existing base (gently) then pried the base off, leaving the black backing. Then put new one on. Seems to work pretty well.

heat gun maybe but I have not had luck and it is bulky. I would try epoxy or just a little gorilla glue as it expands

On the right of the mirror there are two screws. Turn them clockwise 90 degrees (a dime works nicely) and the mirror will lift off. After replacing the batteries put the mirror back in place and turn the screws counter-clockwise (a light pressure on the mirror will hold it in place until the screws are turned.

Yes, you will have to splice wires, go here to see removal of mirror http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F63xzHmD0qA

Yes, the actual mirror unscrews from the base and stand, so you can hand hold it from the side of the mirror. I just unscrewed mine to check :)

I have not changed my as yet, the following is the instructions from the instruction book, good luck.Lower the mirror to its most flat position. Use a credit card to remove the lens cover. Remove bulb by pushing away from the bulb socket. Install new bulb by aligning the pins with the socket, push bulb into socket. a click should be heard

My son replaced the mirror for me I do remember him taking off the door panel. You can get help on line on how to take off the door panel.

My wife's did the same thing. We took it apart and tried to tighten the screws and did somewhat, but it didn't help. So now she uses 2 books of matches and wedges them in at the bottom. I know that's not what you wanted to hear but it works and she reakky likes that mirror.

I have had my mirror for about a year and I have had no issue. I dump the water out after each use. I may just spray some sort of ant-mold stuff down in there now that you bring it up. Excellent question.

You just Epoxy it to the old mirror underneath. Its the simplest way to do it.

I once thought the material was like contact cement, but on a roll. SO, sure, it will adhere to a mirror, but what do you do to remove it later? Could break the glass! Maybe a small mirror could be pried off. I would rather use mechanical means to mount it.

I warm it with a hair dryer and then I just gently pry it off with my fingernail, going around the edge and it will just pop off. Even when broken, it sticks together fairly well with the adhesive on the back.

Yeah. Anything that attached via double tape can screw up the OEM mirror. You just have to get your fingertip between the BS Mirror and the OEM mirror, then work your way in there to separate it.

No. The heater no longer is effective. In fact I needed to remove the trim to get the replacement mirror to fit

Wrap a little bit of black electrical tape around the black plastic part in the dash, then press the knob back onto it over the tape. The knob won't pop off anymore!

Mine wanted to flip to the magnified side, too, but I cut a small sliver out of an adhesive chair pad and stuck it on the side of the mirror. It gives just enough friction to keep the mirror in place, and you can still flip it when you want without it being seen. Problem solved.
