ref. the mirrors - don't bother trying to glue the hex stud; been there,
done that, didn't work.  I ended up drilling a 1/8" hole right through the
whole mirror assembly (obviously after re-seating the hex stud), then I
drove in a 1/8 roll pin (1" long, preferably stainless steel).  Did this on
my '87 about 6 years ago, no further problems.
