I think there is a meatal plate under the spring.  I can't get this
plate out, so it might be rusted to the threaded rod.  I'm hoping the
liquid wrench will seperate them.

Markus----

Just a quick question----

If in fact, the mirror's won't draw up tight----

Why in the hell would you want to soak them in Liquid Wrench?

This is not going to solve your problem---
it's going to make it all the worse---!!

Later,

Looks like I'll be trying to fix my old one, which I'd tightened as far
as I could. Maybe a several day bath in Liquid Wrench will help the base
become tightenable again.
