<<Has anyone ever taken their rear-view mirror apart for re-silvering? I'm
wondering just how much black goop holds the mirror in place (and what
it is).

My mirror was originally glued in, but it popped out when I carefully pried it out from its base. I had a new mirror cut out, using the original as a template. The mirror that was cut out was thicker than the original, but fit back in without a problem. The glass guy told me that certain glues would corrode the silver of the mirror, but before I found the right glue, I found that the mirror fit snugly without glue. It hasn't popped out yet.
