How to reattach rear-view mirror

They make a rear view mirror kit to reattach the mirror, follow the instructions the main thing is clean the surface and do what it says. Good Luck Mike L P.S. if possible remove the mirror from the metal plate unsure let me know

If you glued the wrong side to the window you will have to take it off and flip it over. Otherwise the mirror should just slide over the metal piece and there is a real small alan screw to tighten once you slide it on.

just need to pry it, slide it out, its stiff. usually if it has a screw it slides out. most dont have a screw it has a spring clip, and the clip has to be depressed to allow the button out.

You need to loosen the screw with a T-15 Torx driver and slide the base downward out of the mirror stem.

there should be a set screw that comes loose with an allen wrench. Get a mirror kit from the parts store to glue it back on the windshield. After it dries, reattach the mirror.

i dont think those have a cover, they use a clip that has to be pushed back in order to slide the holder out, flip it over and look inside where the slide goes you will see a metal arm that locks it in place,

should have a torx set screw on it, loosen it and use a flat screwdriver to pry button out of slot

Hi-,
I had the same problem - the inside rear view mirror fell off during a hot summer day. I bought the mirror glue (adhesive) and wondered how to I separate the metal button from the mirror. Enventally, I tried the following and successully separated the metal button from the mirror: There is a little squre slot on the plastic sheath of the metal button. Please find a small flat-ned screw driver whose tip can fit into the sqare hole. put the screw driver into the hole and put it all the way inside down - which will open a little bended metal piece that stops the buttom; at the mean time, slide the metal button towards outside. As the bended metal piece opened uder the pressure of the screw driver, the metal button is freely moveable and can be slide out.
I did this successfully for my Toyota Avalon 1998 car.

Hope it helps.

I think this will be of assistance to you

This is the directions from the Ford factory manual.

I had to pry mine out w a knife. Now, after mounting it to the windshield i can't get the mirror back onto it...
