Inside Rear View Mirror
I just got home from work after 3 weeks and when I jumped in the rover found my rear view mirror hanging from the wire for the auto dim function. I didn't really pay much attention at first until I went to put it back up and noticed that the whole piece that is attached to the windshield was still attached to the mirror. Looking a little closer I noticed that when it fell it took part of the inside layer of glass with it. It's obvious that I now have the choice of living without my rear view mirror and a weak spot in the windshield or replacing the windshield. Not a real tough decision to make. I am just curious if anyone else has had this happen before? I'll try to get some pictures posted tomorrow so everyone can see what I'm talking about.

You dont have full glass coverage with your insurance company?
All glass on both of our cars is covered with a zero $ deductable.
The drivers side mirror was cracked in a parking lot while on vacation summer '07, fixed for free.
Now the truck needs a windshield, it has a stone chip in it, I will wait until spring to get that fixed though.

When i was in Arizona I had full coverage for glass. Here in Colorado my insurance company doesn't offer glass coverage. Any claim for a new windshield goes as a normal claim and I have to pay the deductible which is most likely more than the cost of the windshield.

You know I've been thinking about doing a relocation on my mirror. I really feel like it's causing a big blind spot, so I kinda want to try and move it up, maybe to that removable plastic cover in the headliner trim in front of the light. Any thoughts? Possible at all?

AK Rover,
The same thing just happened to me today. Saw the mirror hanging and when I took a closer there was a chunk of the windshield attached to the back of the mirror.
Did you have to replace the windshield or were you able to repair it somehow?
Also, how did you remove the winshield piece from the back of the mirror?
Thanks

Ya in Arizona I had full glass coverage as well but in Idaho no coverage and that's a bad thing for a disco!!
