Rearview Mirror Rework (95 - 98)

[scottfab]

As many threads have reported the heavier rear view mirror (the one with all the Auto head light off timer and mirror sensors in it) tends to want to shiver or vibrate.

This thread addresses removal AND a rework method that does not involve glue.

None of my pics are posting. Please wait while I investigate.
OOOOOOH, I am not an "Elite" member. Can not post pics.
I'll figure out something. Maybe a link to all the pics somewhere.

Thank you for the feedback about only seeing one pic. The work around for now is a separate link for each pic, sorry.

Rear view mirror fix...

I have a system on a 1997 Explorer that looks like your one photo. The rear view mirror electronics stopped operating, and it would not turn off by itself on the auto setting when the engine was turned off.

Happily, I was able to simply replace the mirror assembly with one from a salvage yard.... 415,000 miles and still running!

Thank you, Explorer Forum.

Thank you. I added more links on the original link for the other pics.

Can we see these pictures in any other way?
I need to repair mine and this would help a lot!

If you use a photo host site like photobucket you can use the image code to post pics. It's the long way around but works for us non elite members.
