I bumped the rearview mirror on my friends C6 and it came off the stud bolt? Anyone know the trick to re-installing it?

TO REMOVE
rotate the mirror clockwise to remove. Use the bottom of the mirror base as a reference and call it the 6 o'clock position. Rotate the mirror base clockwise to approximately the 9 o'clock position. The mirror will then release from the windshield.
INSTALL
When installing the mirror, install with the mirror base at approximately the 9 o'clock position. Apply pressure to the mirror base against the windshield and the rotate counter clockwise to the 6 o'clock position. Re-inspect the mirror and confirm it has been secured to the windshield.

Hope this explains it OK

Great, I'll give it a try! Thanks much.

Are you saying the mirror ball and socket fitting in the backside of the mirror came apart? If so its time for a new mirror. If you are talking about the mount to the windshield then the instructions above may work.

Thanks Bill for the reply. However, LV2TOUR was right on. I was successful re-installing it using his instructions. Someone else may find his instructions when dealing with a Blend-Mount or other radar attaching device attaching to the mirror.

Thanks LV2TOUR-Right On!

Great instructions! I bumped my C6's mirror off while installing my new Blendmount V1 radar detector. I am far from mechanical, and your directions were simple. Thanks for help.
