How does one tighten the rearview mirror on a 97 Explorer Eddie Bauer
w/autolamp mirror. The mount on the glass where the mirror attaches to is
solid and is not the problem. The problem is that the mirror is not tight
on this mount. There doesn't appear to be any set screw. Do you need a
special tool to install or remove the mirror from it's base?

Thanks
Jay

'98 Removal Instructions:

CAUTION: Do not use tools or other objects to pry the mount or mirror
away from the windshield. Use of tools may damage the mirror mount.

1. Disconnect the inside rear view mirror electrical connector.

2. Turn the inside rear view mirror to the vertical position.

3. Remove the inside rear view mirror:

- Twist the mirror horizontally until the tube assembly bottoms out
and the spring releases off the mounting button.

Good luck,

Steven
