Any body have a way to do it without destroying the damn thing? |

Boil it in water. After a couple of minutes the adhesive will release and you can slowly peel the glass off. Then it is obvious. Z |

Thanks! I had a feeling it would be something like that. |

Rob - It's all held together by a screw under the glass.
I was on my phone before, no access to pix. Zack |

I'd be interested if, when reassembling, it'd be possible to install some damping material (dense foam cut to size) between the mirror backing plate and the mirror enclosure. I've noticed that the enclosure is relatively stable and the mirror vibrates. Some foam might calm the mirrors. |

Others have used silicone sealer to do that once the mirror is in place.. the same sort you use in bathrooms for example.. |

I tried foam, didn't help. I finally gave up , now I run Firebolt mirrors.

I used a bead of black silicon around the edge after setting for the best view (tough at best). It stopped the plastic cup shaking and gives a readable view. Use blue masking tape to keep it off the areas you don't need it. |
