Replacing rear-view mirror - anyone have experience with this?
My mirror ball-mount lost it's tension due to the plastic teeth breaking and I think it needs to be replaced - has anyone attempted this?
Is the mirror's wire-harness inside the mirror-assembly, or under the roof liner? Where/how do I disconnect it?
My VDP is equipped with the rain-sensor, is that wired via the same harness or a second one.
Can I reuse the mounting plate and just clamp on a new assembly to the old plate? Besides being careful not to break the windshield, is there anything else that I should know about removing the assembly from mounting plate?

The first thing I'll suggest is that you might want to try a "cheap trick" with glue (not epoxy or any of the "death grip" types) and that's to drip a bit into the ball mount to increase the friction. It does work and can last a very long time. You just want something that dries "tacky" rather than rock solid.
