Drivers rear view mirror
Hello fellow vetteheads,
Could someone let me know how to find the website that shows how to shim up the ball on the mirror to keep it from sagging. I saw it in illustration form and can not remember where I saw it and how the shim went in. I already have the mirror off, but want to install shim right, so i won't have to do this again. Driving me nuts.
Thanks in Advance

Use the JB weld to make a new "rivet" so to speak. Smush it in where the old one was and reassemble before it sets up as the link explained. Or you may just need to replace the mirror.
