Rear View Mirror
I used to have a Summit suction mirror until Detling. It hadn’t been very successful it would fall off on occasions. Well it fell off for the last
time at Detling and smashed on the checker plate floor.
I decided to buy a replacement which was also a suction one but without the turning parts.
This turned out to be totally useless, the amount of force needed to get it stuck to the screen caused it to break, not the glass but the ball on the
back of the mirror.
Feeling a bit lost without a centre rear view mirror and heading to Stoneleigh soon, I thought I would see what I have in the garage, I found a sierra
mirror which I could use to get me to Stoneleigh and decide on a replacement.
While looking at it I thought, I wonder if one of the small Summit mirror would fit onto the Sierra ball/sticky base. I then separated the two; the
Sierra ball is to big.
Now the problem how do you get the ball back into the socket? Is it possible without breaking the mirror?

Beware of the Goldfish in the tulip mines. The ONLY defence against them is smoking peanut butter sandwiches.

I've done it.
With the help of a vice,plank of wood and a block of wood.
It worked really well.
Easy when you know how

A large ball pein hammer, vigorously applied, will usually attach things that need persuasion. After that, a broom and dustpan will help with the
cleanup...
