Default Mirror trunion replacement ???

Hi Guys,

Just thought I'd check before I mess up my outside mirrors :-)

I bought new mirror glass trunions to cure the wobbly mirror glass issue on both my outside mirrors and am curious as to how to install them.

Do you just YANK the mirror glass out or is there some trick to actually seperating the mirror glass from the mirror trunions/motor mounts?

Thanks
Lee

Do you just YANK the mirror glass out ...
No; as the atricle suggests, pull on the mirror with two fingers till it pops off the trunion.

When I removed my wobbly mirror I found that one of the mounting screws holding the assy to the housing was loose.
