Mirror. I seriously dislike folks who do this...

What should have been a 5-second job turned into a > 1-hour job. Removing the driver's side mirror. Someone in the past lost the spring clip. Rather than taking five minutes to bend a new clip out of wire, the unknown individual took the time to epoxy, yes epoxy(!), the mirror to the mirror motor!


I looked at just buying a replacement motor and mirror but the mirror alone is over $230! Sheesh.


Folks, take the time to do it right.
