You should get the mounting "pad" from DMCH for the OEM mirror. I assume the black vinyl piece stayed on the windshield - it doesn't matter it is a good guide if it stayed on - no need to remove it just clean it off (and the mirror mount too), put the new pad on it, then put on the mirror. I have been playing around for a while trying to mount a new chromatic mirror. Installing the electric was the easy part - finding a way to mount the mirror securely has been a challenge. I know what doesn't work. Harold McElraft - 3354 --- In dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, "Patrick C." <PRC1216@...> wrote: > > Today I managed to knock my rear view mirror off my windshield.
