Subject:Rear view mirror success almost.
From:Eric Caron <ericcaron96@COMCAST.NET>

Sometime being blind is a pain in the butt.

I had some mirror bits and wanted to to try to create a healthy brown rear view mirror.

I took a stem and froze it to make the ball smaller.  I took a brown mirror with no stem and warmed it in the house over night.  I put a bit of WD 40 on the ball and with a little effort popped it in.  Once the temps equalized it worked perfectly.

I proudly presented my mirror to my wife, who said, nice work, only it’s black! 

Ugh. 

So, between a worn out damaged brown one and my working nice black one, I sadly install the black one. 

And, I am still a bit proud that I was able to repair the interior mirror even if I did get the color’s wrong.

Still on a quest for a brown one. 

Eric Caron,
84 looking a bit nicer lately even with the black rear view mirror.
