Side view mirror problem

["Charles D. Sorkin" <cdsorkin@ix.netcom.com>]

Dear List:

Well, if its not one thing, its another.  I was out driving around moments
ago, and needed to adjust the drivers side view mirror.  First I noticed
that it was rather stiff.  Another application of force (not all  that much
actually) and the mirror fell off in my hand.  Apparently the connecting
rod, or bolt, rusted apart.  What are people's experience in this matter?
Can I just get another bolt?  It looks really difficult to re-thread it
through into the mirror base.

Regards,
