Doc (Andy),

I have my mirror apart to the point of removing the old ball and stem.

The ball socket needs to be disassembled in order to install the correct Cushman ball and stem but I'm concerned as the socket assembly plates are held together by 4 small tabs that look fragil and likely to break (work harden and crack) during disassembly/reassembly. Anyone done this and have tips or proceedure?

Also good idea to reassemble with a little neolube or anything in the ball to socket (my as purchased is pretty hard to move and with stub to windshield attachment via adhesive don't want too much force when adjusting mirror position?

To point of attachment to windshield..what have others used or suggest?

One more...Thinking of offsetting the mirror off of centerline in windshield...good idea?

Thanks, Steve
