[Healeys] Extended Mirror Stem -- replacing

[Greg Mandas]

Gang,
OK, I went for it.  To get to the bracket inside the mirror which holds the
adjustable ball end of the stem in place I had to remove the glass from the
back.  It was held on with some sort of aging glue.  I plan on re-gluing it
with few dabs of silicone.
Thanks
Greg

I have the same mirror. Just don't drop/loose the screws. It comes apart with
no surprises.
