Visor Mirror Coming off...
Anyone else have this problem? Because of this, the mirror light stays on when I pull the visor down. What type of glue or such will fix this, or does it somehow "punch" back in?

My passenger side visor mirror started doing the same thing last week. Not sure how to fix it.
Anyone out there been successful on re-attaching the entire mirror component to the visor?

Mirror..
The same thing happened to mine (2002 Coupe). I put a very small amount of Gorilla Glue on it and put an elastic band around the visor overnight. If I dropped the car off a cliff, the only thing that would stay intact is the mirror. Gorilla Glue in incredible; just be careful how and where you use it.
Good luck..

I have had good luck with small black tie-wraps behind the mirror; one on either side installed with a needlenose pliers.
If you use glue, you will never be able to change the light bulbs. A tie wrap can be cut; just put a new one on after you change the bulb.

Living in a town where it's 100 plus degrees most of the year it works "wonders" in warping the visor plastic covers through the glass top causing the lights to constantly stay on. Reason,the cover pin and on/off switch don't come in contact.Cheap solution,if the cover still stays in the closed position without flapping around,the cover lid has a very small pin looking thing that presses the light switch to turn the light off. Super glue a small piece of plasic to the cover on the pin. thus widening the area that presses down on the switch.Did this on mine over 2 years ago and so far so good.

Also, I thought they were glued in the first place? How are the bulbs to be changed if it was glued? I saw little "nipples" that seem to slide into "grooves" in the mirror.

I had the same problem on my 2002; fortunately, I was under warranty at the time and they replaced the visor each time (both sides came off). I have GMPP majorguard, so we'll see what happens the next time - and I'm sure there will be a next time!
