Subject:update: power mirror fixed
From:TinkerMan
Date:Mon, 8 Oct 2001 09:15:42 -0700

Hi All,

1. I'm happy to inform that I have managed to fix the
mirror mount, much easier than I thought it would be
after I took it off the door. Yep, working against
gravity made the task MUCH more challenging...A chisel
and needlenose pliers did the trick.

2. Any original ideas how to prevent theft of this
$400 gem hanging outside just waiting to get stolen
(following it's brother)?...
I've changed the crosshead mounting screws to hex hole
type and added two nuts inside the door. Still can be
opened with a hex driver. I'm now playing with
security (tamperproof) screws but these can be removed
easily with a security bit set found at home depot.
I need something radical, such as a blank head screw
with the nut mounted inside the door, but I'll have to
drill out the thread of the door mounted nuts
otherwise I'll have trouble removing them if needed.

=====
Cheers,
         TinkerMan
