Passat (B5) :: Rear View Mirror Base Off?


Aug 5, 2011

Getting the metal mirror base off the rest of the assembly? My mirror fell off the windshield, probably due to a poor glue job a few years ago when the windsheild was replaced. Now for the life of me, I can't get the black metal base off the rest of the mirror to glue it back on. It looks like there are a couple of small holes for a pin spanner, but I've tried that and nothing budges.

Passat (B7) :: Rear View Mirror Droop Down A Little Bit

I constantly need to adjust my rearview miror every 1 1/2 to 2 weeks. It seems to droop down a little bit at a time during that time period. I ran a forum search on this topic but no matches found.

Passat (B5) :: Rear View Mirror Lost Auto Dim Feature

'01 B5 V6 GLX wagon... Inside rear view mirror with auto-dim feature suddenly lost it's auto-dimming ness. Instead, the fluid that does the dimming kinda pools around in a random bubble-cloud within the glass and in various places within the mirror. It's distracting as heck.

Passat (B5) :: Rear View Mirror - Tint Fading Out In Certain Parts

I have an issue with my rear view. It seems like the tint is fading out in certain parts of it, its like the nighttime sensor is broken or something . I took it to the dealership to get a quote and they it would cost about $500 for a new rear view mirror. I was curios if there is a cheaper way to fix or if i could fix it myself.

Phaeton :: Rear View Mirror Drop Down

I'm not sure if this is a problem others have experienced here but for the last few months my rear view mirror angle would drop down and every morning when i got in the car i would need to readjust. I then thought that like every other moving part of the P that needs adapting that maybe the same applies to the mirror so i moved it to it's highest then lowest points, moved the seat all the way back, got out, locked the car, unlocked it, the seat and mirror had returned to the position stored in the memory and for the last month the mirror has not moved so I'm thinking that this has solved the problem.

Golf IV R32 :: Rear View Mirror Keeps Dying

My rear view mirror looks to be dying. Yesterday morning it started with what looked like a hairline crack through the middle of the glass. Several hours later it appeared to be de-laminating itself. It looks like water is stuck between 2 layers of glass. Obviously not happy with this as TOD is just around the corner and don't want to be traveling over 1200 miles with limited rear view visibility. [URL]..........

Touareg :: Rear View Mirror Dimming?

A week or so ago there was a topic about the rear view mirror dimming. I replied that mine worked on the inside but not the outside mirrors. I just re-read two or three different brochures and found that the outside mirrors do just about everything except dim! Go figure.

Prius (2010-12) :: Rear View Mirror Seems Low

I bought a used 2010 model and here's a pic of my rearview mirror. Please note the base of the mirror assembly and the location where it's attached to the windshield. Seems kinda low to me. Can other 2010 owners chime in if your mirror is attached at the same spot (or not)?

There is a small crescent shape of clear mirror on the top middle of my mirror. I think the dimming "juice" has been compromised. Am I SOL or is there a way to fix it? What vehicles are interchangeable and is there a mirror that's better that I could swap in?

My inside rear view mirror refracts the light from behind in a vertical rainbow line.

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Rear-view Mirror Keeps Falling Off

As the title indicates, the rearview mirror (that mounts on the windshield) on my MKIV Jetta won't stay on. When it falls off, the spring clip remains attached to the mounting base on the windshield. I have tried bending the spring clip outward (works until I hit a bump) and epoxying the spring clip when installing back in the mirror base (worked for a month or two).

I can't tell either from the diagram in the Bentley or from pictures of mirror bases that I found around the internet what precisely is supposed to retain the spring clip in the mirror base. I can get a used mirror base locally, but I'm just not quite sure whether the problem is with the base, the spring clip, or both...

Santa FE SM (2001-06) :: Reattaching A Rear View Mirror

My friend bumped my mirror with his head and it's now hanging loose (pictures: Busted Rear View Mirror - Imgur ). It was very cold when this happened, which I assume is why it happened so easily. I have tried a 3M adhesive (in a warmer environment), but the mirror was too heavy and didn't even come close to setting it in place.

So I'm wondering if there is a trick I'm missing. Does the mirror detach somewhere? Is there a specific kind of glue/epoxy I should be using?

Rear-view mirror got knocked loose. How can I fix it? [with pics] : Cartalk

Hyundai - Elantra :: Rattling Rear View Mirror

My Elantra SE interior mirror has had an annoying problem from new: it rattles. Usually doesn't start until after many minutes of steady driving. Then gets loud enough to be a real distraction, and even to interfere with outside sounds - a safety issue. I've wiggled the mirror to all sorts of positions, but only touching it continuously damps the vibration - not good for a stick-shift.

Since it takes a while to begin rattling, it has never happened during regular service appointments. The mirror is not user-serviceable; a special tool is needed. (My dealer doesn't even have one; they get mirror work done during occasional visits by a specialist.) They wouldn't replace the mirror on my say-so, saying I needed to call Hyundai.

Camry 2012+ :: How To Run Wire From Rear View Mirror Through Car Ceiling

I bought a new dash cam for the 2012 TCH. I've placed it in front of the rear view mirror and want to run the power cable to the fuse box. I don't want to wire it in to the light or homelink since those are "hot" all the time, and I want my dashcam powered completely off when the car is stopped (I have a device I can wire in that enables it to stay on, but that device is way too big to fit in the car ceiling anyway).

Is it possible to run a wire up from the rearview mirror area, through the car ceiling, and down the windshield/front door post (where the curtain airbag is)? Obviously, I don't want to mess up the curtain airbag.
