78 sport mirror guts
My right side sport mirror couldn't be adjusted. I tried spraying wd40 back there and really putting pressure on it - it wouldn't budge.
Reading all the posts about how hard it is to remove the mirror, I didn't want to but I gave in.
The pic shows what was in there and why I couldn't move it - that ain't factory!!
I looked all over and even though I don't know what should be in there, I don't think anybody sells the guts I need.
Anybody have ideas other than a whole new mirror?
Also in the pic is a wrench that worked great - just took the two felt thingys off and ta-daa.

Wow. I did not expect the picture at the end of the story!
Sorry, but it's kinda hilarious and mostly because it's not me for once. ;-)
