My car has a rear view mirror that looks very complicated, Is it going to be an issue when I have Phoenix
Glass replaces my windshield?
No problem. Rear view mirrors of today vehicles do appear to be something to be afraid of but in reality, the majority of them
are just business as usual for the technicians at Phoenix Glass. There are a few out there that can be rather difficult to transfer
over to the new windshield such as Infinity, Lexis and a few other makes. Unfortunately for that simple reason it puts the
vehicle into the difficult installations category in which we would rather not perform the installation in the field. These types of
rear view mirrors use a horse shoe shaped spring that maintains an equal pressure
on each of the two ball bearings to retain the mirror to the mounting bracket. It's
not at all uncommon for a technician to have difficulty with these type of units in
that it will pop apart and the small ball bearings exit the mirror in an unsafe,
unruly, flying formation. Imagine trying to find something smaller than a BB in a
parking lot or worse yet a gravel parking lot.
99% of the windshields of today come from the factory with the rear view mirror mounting bracket already mounted on the
windshield.
