|| ||You are saying I got the right answers, but I just had the wrong mirror! || ||I'm not slamming anybody who made a guess. But, all of the answers given ||here were in fact wrong for the specific mirror on my truck. Even the two ||guys at the Ford dealership parts department were wrong. || ||I was only able to confirm that the one answer I found in a Google search ||that said to "wack it with a hammer" was right when I was able to see the ||back side of the mount of the identical mirror in the box. I would have ||preferred to pop a spring clip or loosen a set screw, but that's not how MY ||mirror was made. || ||I'll stand by my observation of the internet, you get answers, many answers, ||and sometimes one of them is the correct answer. The tricky part is figuring ||out which one.
What kind of accuracy do you expect from people who cannot see *your* mirror? Personally, I have never seen a rearview mirror of that type that did not have a setscrew. Texas Parts Guy
