Rearview mirror
My rearview mirror has been loose since I got my 89 coupe. So today
I figure Ill tighten up the screw and of course the screw is stripped.
I want to drill out the screw but don't want to mess nothing up.
Any opinions would be apprciated. Thanks

If you can tap a small easy-out into the screw head you may be able to pull down on the easy-out while turning it to extract the screw.
If that fails, just drill it out. You can always tap it and go with a larger allen screw. The trick will be to keep it from rotating while you drill it.
