Mirror Backing Plates - Attached? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

We pulled one of the factory rearview mirrors off the '69 today, and THUNK, the backing plate falls to the bottom of the door.

Before I do the other side, should I expect that one to fall also, or were they spot-welded in place and this one just came loose?

That could be kinda sticky if you didn't want to take the door panels off. Guess if you knew it would fall, you could try to hold them with some lengths of all-thread that the mirror would slip over. Other ideas?

Thanks...SSOW
