Yes had them off a few times with no prob. an yes the tap is broke. i have poped it back together an its loose so i am thinking the apoxie will work i have used it on other thangs an its very strong.

Why do you remove the mirrors to do an oil change? I never have and have done 7 oil changes.

:banghead: It's been a long day so I really missed that obvious question..... As for gluing, do so only if you never want to take them apart again. I would opt for something less permanent if it were me.....maybe a small black screw or two...?

Mystery solved. I really would opt for something less permanet if you are able. Never know when you might need to get into the mirrors..... I took mine apart when adding turn signal indicators and was pretty fearful of breaking those tabs. Had thoughts about what I would do if I did. Good luck!

I've got a snapped tab on the front side of my right mirror also... :yikes:
I'm also trying to figure the best way to add a screw in there somewhere...
