RE: Rear-view mirror removal? Ha! Give it time!

["Aaron Ness" <aaron@makuta.com>]

I've only had to attach a mirror once, on my '82.  The PO replaced the
windshield and didn't reattach a mirror, so I bought a tube of the Permatex
stuff and a metal thingamadoojobber and followed the instructions to attach
said thingamadoojobber.  It's been about a year and I haven't had any
trouble.
