I need to lower my rear view mirror so I can install my new Scangauge. I bought a mount that attaches it on top of the mirror, but there is not enough room between it and the headliner, unless I'm doing something wrong. I moved the mirror every way I could to try and fit it there and it ain't happening.

How do you get the mount off the windshield... fishing string? Isn't it glued on?

This is the kit I bought. Has anyone else used this mount?

 

hey bud, long time no talk. when i was switching out my mirror for the one with the camera screen, it was a PITA to get off. i know it has two pivot points on it. one at the back of the mirror and one at the windshield. if you have already tilted it down as far as it will go at the windshield and then tilt up atbock of mirror where you can see and there isnt enough room, then i would say it wont fit. that is all i can think off right now. hope this helps!!!

 

Hey Chris

Yeah I've already tried pivoting it down as far as it will go to make it fit. I'm thinking if I move the mount (base) down I can lower the mirror enough to get it in there... I hope

I just don't want to scratch my windshield trying to remove the mount from it.

 

l doubt you can get the base off the windshield. i accidentally cracked my windshield just trying to get the mirror off the base. it is on there pretty good!!!

 

call a windshield installing place. they wpuld probably know for sure if it can be done.

 

That sucks! Maybe I'll have to check with a glass shop. How much was a new windshield?

 

well funny thing was when i went to the dealer at 3K miles and told them the dang mirror fell off in my hand, they replaced the windshield for me!!!!! now i just hope the head shop tech that i just told about this website last night doesnt see this!!!!
