rearview mirror stuck on 1992 miata
Hi,
the passenger side rear view mirror is manually adjusted, and it is stuck on the ball joint or whatever the stalk is called that it is sitting on. I put some torque on it and it didn't budge. Is it ok to really twist it hard to free it? What's the best way to proceed? Thanks, Mike

Now look in the base and you'll see a small nut recessed way up inside, loosen that nut but be careful, if it comes all the way off you're in a big mess! That should loosen up the mirror. -- XS11E, Killing all posts from Google Groups The Usenet Improvement Project: http://improve-usenet.org
