stupid question oh well
hey guys i know this is a stupid noob qeustion but im trying to put my rear view mirror back together to put back into my car and the damn little screw that keeps the mirror at the desired angle wont go back in!!! The screw in the back of the mirror! is there a trick or does the mirrors arm need to be at a certain angle to make it thread?!? Im been trying for 30mins and it still wont screw in and i need to drive me car! thanks

Are you able to put the screw through the mirror, holding the screw in place with the screwdriver...if so hold the mirror in one hand, use the tip of the screwdriver and a finger to hold the screw in the mirror hole and put it up to the mount...feel around with the tip of the screw till you hit the hole and ram her home.

Hopefully you have the mirror out of the car right? It sounds like the part you put the screw through is too far away from the threaded part it attaches too. Can you lightly push them together w/ one hand & tighten w/ the other?
Maybe post a pic of the problem...

Ah yes... the hole has to be visible. Does that inner metal piece move around (like if you grab the tab)?
