Here's another question, how do you take it off? OK, OK, I'm an amateur but I mounted mine upside down.
Without laughing too hard, please type the response. : )
Thanks,

Most of my rear view mirrors only came off when my wife hit then with her head. I could lend you my wife or use an old pair of pliers and a gas grille lighter set to a low flame will do the trick. Just hold the metal with a very slight twisting force and hold the heat directly on the metal. As soon as the adhesive softens it will turn and come off. Clean the metal and the glass with a razor blade and then use a scotchbrite on the metal surface. This will aid in a better bite when you reinstall it. Place the metal on a long piece of tape, apply the adhesive to the metal and tape it to the glass. Leave the tape on over night and you will have a better bite than the way the instructions tell you to do it.

You will have about 5000 piece's of glass to pick up. Let it cool in a dry area. Don't ask how I know this. |

I had tried to make my own power window system for that little window. It did not have the power to lift it.
But I ordered power window kit for flat window Hot Rods. Ill have have some photos of it when I get it done. Reason for the lift kit is with my shoulder problems its hard to work the windows.
