I’ve searched plenty of these tutorials and they’re all nothing but a person talking straight into a camera. First person tutorials like this are the best. Concise and to the point, thank you!
4 years later and this is still the best video! Thank you, my friend, for posting helpful content in a concise, clear format. I appreciate you!
Thank you for showing how to remove the metal button!! Mine is just like yours and even the guys in the parts department at the dealership couldn’t figure it out!! They wanted me to buy a whole new mirror🤦♀️.
Me too! Went to 2 auto supply stores! 😮
After struggling with this a year ago and giving up, it took more time to get a screwdriver out of my toolbox then it did to remove the mirror.
Awesome tutorial, great job man.
I do not like written directions. This video gave me the confidence to do my own repair, and showed me how to separate my mounting button from my mirror.
Thank you soo much..but trust me when I say that if you have an On Star mirror..it will have a lot of glue on it that you will have to struggle to get off..I actually thought it was part of the button it was so thick..took me an hr to scrape off..finally I was able to pull it off!
el mecánico coloco la placa de soporte del retrovisor al revés como la quito?
This actually helped a lot and worked for my 2015 Jetta TSi!! Thank you!!!!!
Thank you so much for this video. It's very clear and excellent. Thank you.
Thank you for showing the black pad on the windshield! Everyone else kept talking about having to draw the spot on the outside and I could not figure out if the black pad was supposed to come off or stay on or even what it was.😁 Yeah, I'm a girl.
Thank you! My blazer's mirror just gave out and I was furiously trying to find a way to mount back up so it was legal. Now with this video I know what product to buy and how to install it! thanks again!
Thank you, this was very helpful!!
Great for understanding how to remove the mirror from the mounting plate.
on the older cars if you don't have the black square it helps to draw a straight line outside with a black sharpie marker as a point of reference to help put the button straight. I would always used PC-7 epoxy to replace these buttons and never had a problem again. Of course it would take tape to hold it and overnight drying time.
Great video and thanks for sharing.
I have the same rearview mirror. I was driving earlier today and trying to fix my mirror. I must have moved it the wrong way, the mirror came off from the metal. Good thing I was able to figure it out how to put it back...whew
Thank You My Friend , You Been Very Helpful To Me .... Have A Great Week My Friend ... Thanks Again ... :)
Video was helpful, but have to tell you that I did this twice and finally called Permatex whereby they explained that if your windshield has the black metal coating, Permatex will not work as it did not in my Honda CR V. So you either have to place the rearview mirror in a lower location on clear glass, or find a better glue. Permatex did not work for me TWICE!!!
What did you use? I have the same black metal coating on a civic 8th gen and already 1 failed attempt...
Thanks for posting...just wanted to add....I was trying to pop open the mirror....however some mirrors have a screw...It finally dawned on me to try and unscrew the screw to see if that would help and it did....I had to use a hex adapter...my mirror had no spring. (2004 grand am Pontiac) Hope this helps someone.
How do you remove the button from rear view mirror after it has already fallen off windshield on 2006 f150?
Thanks!
How do I locate the mounting spot if it has been cleaned away and my outside marker was removed?

My rearview mirror fell off but it won't come apart. Any thoughts? I wonder if some of the glue got into the join and is keeping it from separating. Oh dear.
With my Blazer, the button didn't fall off,just the mirror complex. So I may have to buy a suction cup mirror
Thanks for showing me how to take the metal piece off the mirror gj man
This morning my mirror fell off. 2010 Ford F150. The metal part is still on the windshield but no matter what I try the mirror will NOT slide back onto this piece. HELP. Any thoughts??? Thanks
THANK YOU
I have a 2008 Totoya Camry. There is reference to a "plastic" button. There seems to be something plastic on the metal button part of my mirror. Is that something that has to be removed? Or just leave it.
Good question
Read the instructions that come with your adhesive kit. Some specifically say to NOT wipe the "button" with the activator towelette, only the windshield.
yes but call the company they say to do both
Everyone says the button should "come out" they don't state that it might be getting held in place with a spring or something -_-
time to drive back down to Auto Zone
There is note on manual: "Do not wipe the button with the Cleaner/Activator Towelette" !!!
thats wrong you have to...
@@mike-bj4dk It's really optional; applying activator to button just means that as soon as you put the adhesive on the button it will be activated and begin to solidify sooner. If you don't wipe the button the adhesive doesn't start to cure until it comes in contact with the activator solution on the windshield. Basically if you put activator on button don't take your time placing it on the windshield once adhesive is activated. It's like this with most 2 part adhesives/epoxys. It says to not wipe button with activator in case you do, then you put the adhesive on it, then you have to answer a call and get back to it a minute later and the adhesive has begun curing and then won't work as well. The instruction is less about proper way to do it, and more about mitigating peoples potential for screwing up things that should be straight forward.
czcams.com/video/UPzPOXm8Zkc/video.html this guy called the company and said the directions are incorrect on the package and both pieces need to be whipped.
What do I do if the metal piece on the windshield is on the wrong way?
I was told if I try to take the metal piece after windshield, it would break the windshield!!! It was put on wrong!!
Finally I find a pathfinder
mine literally peeled some of the glass off the windshield so this would NOT help me
my mirror wont mount back onto the clip
what's a bun??
mine just fell off lol, thx for this
Since when did permatex include everything in the kit? All I got was the adhesive and cleaning pad.
They sell different kits. See the link in description for this kit.
why are americans obsessed with using razor blades in the most dangerous way they can think of
This is just a marketers way of getting you to waste money people. Remove the metal tab from the mirror and scrape the surface of it and the windshield, then tae rubbing alcohol and clean both surfaces and use super glue from your grocery store or dollar store and let it dry for at least 3 hours.I used windshield rubber siicone on mine and et it dry for two days and it worked great also. Rubber tire plug cement works well also
