Are you able to adjust the mirror after placement? My only concerns thatI have lost 2 screws, each the one on the back of the mirror where mirror mounts to frame. Would using Super glue to insure screw won't come loose affect my ability to adjust the...

If you are talking about the screw that holds the convex mirror to the convex mirror housing, it is not an exotic screw. I didn't measure it, but I think it is a #8 x 1" pan head sheet metal screw. I'd suggest testing different screws until you find the right one so you don't cross thread the bore for this screw. I don't suggest glueing these two pieces together for two reasons. One is you can't remove the entire mirror unless you destroy the housing. The other is that the ball joint that allows adjustment is nicely tight. I found that removing the mirror from the housing, nudging the ball joint, then refitting and checking for view, was more successful than just pushing on one side or the other with my thumb as is suggested in the instructions. If you are referring to the pair of screws that are part of the clamping mechanism, I tried to get extras that were a little shorter than as supplied and couldn't find them. They are a metric size, I think a #7. The hardware store I go to has a pretty complete stock, but not that size. It wasn't worth going to a specialty screw supply to find them.

Yea the mirror comes with an extra adhesive. But in all honesty you might not need it. The sticky part is really strong. And it last for a while and if and when it falls off just press it back on with some good force and itll be good as new

I also would think that you could. there are many good glues. After all i'm sure that the mirror is probable glued on also, just be sure you don't put to much stress on it and crack the mirror.

I mounted mine to an outlet electrical box, the mirror screws in where the outlet normally sits an covers the box. I did mine with a remodel, so I installed the outlet box at the right height for the mirror.

Absolutely. There's nothing magical about the adhesive. If you can find a relatively smooth spot maybe an inch square you're fine. And if it doesn't stick well you can reapply with a different adhesive strip. The mirror is light plastic so it won't be taxed by its weight.

Well...My daughter has been using it for about 1.5 months. I haven't used it personally, but checked it out. Here's my novel: The lower tube has a plastic insert at the top. The upper tube fits inside the plastic insert and telescopes up and down. The knurled center piece tightens the plastic insert so that the height can be adjusted. I had to tighten it fairly snug to prevent the upper tube with the mirror from sliding down. The "Y" frame that holds the mirror has a metal threaded insert pressed into the bottom of the "Y" that screws into the top of the upper tube. This can back-out if you try to swivel the mirror side-to-side. I need to put some Lock-Tite on these threads. I know this isn't what you asked but bear with me. Because of the way the stand is designed as I described, I do not think the mirror is supposed to swivel along the axis of the tube (back 'n' forth). But the mirror is supposed to swivel upon the horizontal axis (two points attached at the top of the "Y" frame). There is a plastic bushing on the little shaft at either side of the mirror. These ride inside the holes at top part of the "Y" frame. There is a knurl nut that threads onto both sides to hold the mirror in place. A plastic washer goes between the nut and the "Y" frame. Now for your question after my novel! LOL! My daughter's mirror never got "stuck" when I rotated the mirror along the horizontal axis. But I did notice that it tightened up a little. This was from the right knurl nut tightening as I spun the mirror top towards me. I am going to put Lock-Tite on the both of the knurl nut threads to prevent the nut from spinning at all. Hope this helped. All-n-all, I'd say this is a worth while buy for the price.

Hi.. I did the installation about 2 yrs ago.. But as I can remember I had to partially take off the inside door panel to gain access to the upper plastic cover holding the screw for the mirror.. The hardest part was taking the inner door panel off to gain access.. The whole installation took me 20 mins so it's not that time consuming.

Yes, the screw is included with the mirror (the manufacturer refers to it as a locking screw). The screw has a Torx head, so be sure that you have the proper sized Torx screwdriver or bit (you'll need Torx #20).Just be methodical and patient, and follow the installation guide - especially when removing the old mirror. Took me less than 4 minutes to install in my mom's Buick Century.

Mine came attached to the bars, but the wall mount was separate. Try to attach it so the mirror revolves on its axis.Sorry not to be of more help.

This actually becomes your rearview mirror. Imagine having a small mirror in your bedroom/bathroom and then putting a bigger mirror clipped right on top of it. You now have a bigger mirror without altering the original smaller mirror behind it.I hope this was helpful.

It will not snap. There is ratchet mechanism with engaging teeth. To adjust the tilt, push toward the wall (or pull toward you) the the base of the mirror. It will remain in place in the final position.

For me, I made a custom [in-wall] frame for it to be mounted. There are holes behind the front mirror hinges, so I used those so that nothing could be seen for attaching to new wood frame. Very nice product, if it works for you.

You can tighten the mirror but not to the point that you cannot move the mirror. Mine stays where it is positioned, butit can be moved.

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.

There are 3 screws. Remove the small triangle plastic piece inside the door near the corner of the window where the mirror is. There is a piece of insulation in there and I believe the new mirror comes with its own. Remove the nuts and the mirror will come off. Insert new mirror and tighten down the nuts. Takes like 15 minutes.

My table didn't had holes for the screws and the mirror didn't Had holes either, you just have to make ur own little holes on the mirror and the table. I did that and it came out perfectly.

Hello. Thanks for the question. The mirror has hooks on the back of it that fit right over the existing mirror.
