I had a rear view cam screen installed over the top of my mirror after which the mirror would sometimes drop. The mechanic who installed it for me alerted me that from the extra weight, the mirror was loose and said that the only way to fix it would be to replace the mirror. Not only did this video help me know how to fix the problem, but it also helped me know not to go back to that mechanic. Thank you!

Glad this helps. True that some mechanics is only interested in replacement rather than repair cause that's where they get more money. I prefer to try and find methods to save money.

You saved the day as well as my pocket bro. Just installed a mirror dash cam and encountered this problem and thought I'd have to buy a new mirror and then one KZread search later BOOM!! You showed up and saved me. It worked like a charm, thank you.

I had a rear view camera installed in my son's car and clipped the display onto the rear view mirror. The added weight caused the mirror to drop down. This video saved me money and aggravation. Thank you!

Simply the best! Simple, quick, and easy!

OMG that was exactly what I wanted at the 1:25 mark THANK YOU !!!!! I have an after market clip on wider mirror 300 MM clipped onto my OEM Mirror and ONLY when Its hot outside its too heavy and the mirror slumps down. This is all I needed I am going to place some silicone in that joint to add some friction Thank you man !! Oh wait paper Hmm Maybe ... Hey your steering wheel is on the wrong side hahaha Oh crapp I saw the TC and though Scion TC Hopefully mine comes off this easily for similar repair...

@TCsAnythingGoes

Silicone might be a bit more permanent but when you move it around awhile, it will still come out and make a bigger mess. I prefer paper as its less hassle and easily replaced. The steering unfortunately came from the factory....... and my government deems left hand drive cars as illegal cars. =) I had to search for Scion TC and found out that its a 2 door Toyota..... which unfortunately is not available in my country as well..... damn Malaysia is missing out on a lot of nice cars.
