Yes, I was just driving home, minding my own business and all of a sudden, the driver side or left side rearview mirror fell out. Then I am thinking, does Amazon just sell the glass mirror for my 1994 Mazda B3000? Well I was hoping that is what they can do, as I didn't want to buy the whole assembly.
So when I got home I right away went to my computer, I really don't like to order stuff through my phone unless I absolutely have to. I like that I can use a full keyboard. I guess I am old school, using my tower computer.
Anyway as I am looking I do see the assembly, which is ok, but I didn't want to spend something like 50 or 60 dollars on a whole assembly when I only need the glass mirror part. I could just glue it in.
I finally found a mirror, just the glass part that would fit, it cost 15 dollars, I looked some more, I found the glass mirror that would fit my truck and it only cost about 5 dollars. I hurried up and bought that through Ebay.
Then I went to Amazon, I wanted to buy some epoxy glue. I found the Gorilla epoxy glue on sale for about 5 dollars too. I went ahead and order that too, but I ordered other things that I needed anyway as I wanted to get the free shipping, on Amazon I get it if my order is at least 35 dollars before tax and shipping. So I did get the free shipping.
I am writing all this today since both my left side mirror and the Gorilla Epoxy Glue came on the same day.
I just waited for it to cool down and there was lots of shade over my vehicle, my 1994 Mazda B3000. Did you know that vehicle was manufactured here in the USA by Ford? Yes Mazda and Ford have been doing deals for awhile. So I get the Ford motor, but the Mazda bullet proof manual transmission also. Yes, the best of both worlds.
So back to my left side review mirror. I found an old peanut butter lid and cleaned it out. You know when I got the mirror, it is a mirror on both sides, so if you need either the left or right side mirror, it does both. Well, I guess they save money that way, they just make that one product and it can be used on either side, you just have to flip it to what ever fits.
So I mix the epoxy together in a peanut butter lid, epoxy comes in two parts and you have to mix them together and the directions say I have to use it within 3 minutes after I mix it. So I mix it and apply on the sides, it fix pretty good, I did get some of that glue on my mirror, but it cleans up pretty much. I didn't want to clean it up too much as it is still setting. Tomorrow I will do a better job.
Well, here it is, with the new glass mirror on my left side.
So now I am safer as now I can see through my left side review mirror. Great.
Let's end with a scripture, as it is written, with Jesus speaking, Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God. Matthew 22:29.
