Look in the phone book.

If there's an automotive glass installer in your area, you may get it put on for free if you run by their shop.

I would also highly suggest calling an independent body shop, you'll likely find that you'll get the same results.

And...... there should be a screw holding it to the bracket, unless it's missing. Keep in mind, the piece attached to the windshield remains in place and the new mirror simply slides down on the bracket that's glued to the windshield. So.....look again for the attaching screw.

my thoughts

From past experiance with 90's chevys, they used a clip that locks the mirror to the mount. Have never seen it, but there must be a tool availible. Wayne

It's from the "S10" forums. It addresses your concern. Evidently, depending on the year, there's a locking clip that's somewhat visable looking through from the outside of the windshield. The postintgs are saying that the clip needs to be released before you can work with the bracket.

Um, you DO know that it's "mirror", not "mirrow", right?

Glad you got your problem solved, too.
