my rear view mirror on my g35 came off and I cant seem to put it back on...is there like a trick or something for installing the rear view mirror back on?

 

anyone?

 

what u mean is there a trick.. U have to buy the glue for the little metal piece to stick it back on the windshield and the slide the mirror onto it

 

so you have to put the metal piece back first than attach the mirror? The metal piece is currently on my mirror now

 

yes, the lil metal piece slides off the mirror.. there is a glue you buy from the part store.. stick the glue on the lil metal piece... make sure you have it where u want it b4 your glue it on.. then let the glue settle and then slide the mirror onto it..

Side note: the mirror and the lil metal piece are two parts... metal piece going on first and then mirror goes on

 

Go to a windshield replair place, all the ones around here reattach rear view mirrors for free.

 

Go buy a rear mirror kit. If the metal wedge came off. If not screw the hex screw back in.

 

i can not slide the metal wedge off...is it attached on ?

 

It takes a little bit of force. I had to get a flathead screwdriver in between the button and the rear view mirror and give it a pretty solid twist before the button popped out.

My rearview mirror actually fell off recently, too. This heat is playing HELL with my car. One thing you need to do is make SURE that all of the old glue is off of both the button and the windshield, or your mirror will fall right back off again. I found this out the hard way, and putting my mirror back on ended up costing me nearly $9.00 in materials instead of the orignally intended $3.50.

I actually had to use some sandpaper on the button to get all of the old glue off of it.

 

thanks Brett, im taken my car in for service this friday so Ill just tell them to attach the rear view mirror while there checking out my car

 

Are you going to the stealer for service? I'd do this yourself and save time. I wouldn't put it past a stealer to try and charge for labor to do something like this.

 

i just bought the car on the 17th its still under warranty, i wont be paying a dime. Im taken it for service bc i hear a rattle from the driver side rear whenever i go over bumps or uneven roads...Ill just tell them to attach the rear view while there at it.

 

Oh, okay. In that case, service away.

That rattle is probably bad bushings or a blown strut...

 

thanks ill be sure to mention that...just curious how much are those parts?
