Sounds a bit scary, but not too effective on a type 3 mirror, where the mirror is held in a spring loaded mount that is part of the metal roof assembly. Type 3 mirrors aren't glued to the glass. That "feature" didn't come along until a few years after our cars were made. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
