    Default Any tricks/tips to reinstall those %#%! mirrors back on...!

    2014 RTL. had the sides off to install baha-ron's sway bar, & did oil & filter change, etc. left side snapped on great. right side..can't get the front lwr mount to snap in... took out the spring and adjusted it alittle..man..wish they'd just used screws or bolts to mtg them...got them off okay...Plastic inside doesn't look damaged...anyway, this design sure promotes a person to buy the "magnet mtg" for sure...Tips?? heading to Sturgis in a couple days...tks

    Just fix it once and for all time, buy yourself a set of Magic Mirror Mounts and be done with it! The only regret you're ever likely to have after that is "Why the bleedin'eck didn't I do that sooner!!"

    Thanks for the link and the response...I ended up "Switching" the plastic screwed in clips from the back to the front one. The one that would not snap in, snapped in after the switch..going to order the magnet mounts asap. thanks again!

    Those magnets are strong... be sure to keep razor blades away from you work area so you don't get one stuck in your thumb from about 6" away... ask me how I know....lol.

    I've been around some pretty strong rare-earth magnets in the past...I just had a thought: wonder if there is any "danger" for people who have a pace-maker and are only a few feet away from these magnets?? would not like to hear about a pace maker changing motions or shutting off....

    I won't give Medical advice other than, consult with your Med. professional. Except for my Magnet System .... The others have about 100lbs. of force , EACH x's 3 = 300 lbs ...... ask based on that amount ...... Good luck .... Mike

    Magic Magnets are the ticket----- easy on -- easy off. And they don't vibrate / they are secure on the road.

    You can also DIY Magic Mirrors. Costs $20 or so. Blue Knight has done it. I did too.
