296 Rear view mirror reinstall?

So I was installing a radar detector mount and removed the rear view mirror cover but the mirror popped off the socket. Is there a proper way to reinstall? I don’t want to break my windshield lol

I figured it out. Seems like it’s a twist on/off. All good.
Just orient the mirror 45 degrees to the right then rotate counter clockwise to secure

 

Agreed. Also some might get confused and think it’s a push kinda deal and break the windshield. Glad it’s easy once you figure it out. I used the Blendmount BV1-3032 and a mirror tap mtx-1010.

Only thing is it’s a tad short and interferes with mirror adjustment so had to use a lower hole for mounting it. Worked out fine.

I believe it’s operating properly so far, radar only powers on when ignition is on and shuts off on accessory mode. I tapped the mirror harness at the red and black wires. Measured with a voltmeter and it was +13V

 

Sorry for the unclear pic. But the harness has a red and black wires opposite each other. Red from detector into red into the harness and black is ground.

 

I'm SO glad it worked for you!

 

ah, you saw this too.

So the behavior I see, is if I don't drive the car for 2 days and it's on the charger, I start it on EV/Hybrid/battery (one push on the start/stop) the radar detector freaks out like you said.

It must be a voltage stabilization/damping that is either not happening, or maybe it's a low voltage condition? Haven't measured things.
