One thing you didn’t explicitly mention is there are two tabs on the mirror that line up with the two indentions on the window knub and that helps a lot getting the right alignment even tho it is difficult to see up there while putting it on. Also make sure your power cable isn’t between the window and plastic trim as that won’t let the bolt seat inside the mirror. Yes i am writing this dripping in sweat after fighting mine for 20 minutes lol your video helped a ton.
I honestly never noticed any alignment tabs, I'll have to take a closer look next time I pull my mirror off, I just kind of eyeball it and have done it so many times now it's pretty easy. That cable can definitely get in the way too. Thanks for watching!
THANK YOU!! My car was stolen - then recovered. But they pulled the rearview off, and cut the wiring. Glad they left the rearview in the car, though. And now I can at least put it back, thanks to your well-explained steps.
Love your weight reduction videos Chris. I really like that it can all go right back on in a day. I made the terrible mistake of completely gutting my first race car down to the bone. Pretty much just tore it all apart and threw everything away. A few years later when I wanted to start street driving it the regrets really sank in. It was a 440 powered '71 Plymouth Duster that I built in 1978... man I miss that car. My heart melts every time I see one. I do the love the 1320 though. I don't have the nerve to lighten it, besides, with bracket racing I only need to be consistent, not faster. At my old age, 11's are plenty fun.
I love those old Dusters, always felt they were the epitome of affordable performance that mopars were known for. I’ve been stripping interiors since the 90s with my 97 Ram. In the full size truck world it’s almost mandatory if you want to race them in any way. Eventually I’ll put everything back in my 1320, just not sure when. I’ve been thinking about how to make that vid, but it’ll definitely be a Saturday since I keep saying that’s all I need lol
I have a Ram 1500 and am looking for the retention clip/spring as my mirror fell off while installing the dash cam. Any ideas without buying a new mirror? Thanks.
I'm not sure on the Rams. Might have to pull mine off to see what part you're talking about. Not sure if maybe it's a part you can get at the dealer? Otherwise I'd maybe look for a salvage one or on ebay for a cheaper one
For those who don't take it off all the time. You will never get it on this way. That plastic cover is 2 pieces. Take that off. Then get the mirror back on. Then you can put the plastic covers back on. Same thing when taking it off. Take off the cover first
I’ve been trying to do this but there is no way! Plus there is the wires in the way, and the window defroster thing and it just will not snap or turn on
No codes at all. My mirror has the assist and sos buttons which I’ve never used since I think you need a Sirius guardian or unconnect subscription to even have those features enabled. Plus there’s sensors for the auto-dimming feature which I’m guessing gets power through that plug
Hi, maybe you can help. Our winsheild broke and we lost that "nut"/bracket attached to the windwheild. It came completely off. I can't find another one that is the same shape no matter what I type in google. Can you help? All the other brackets look U shaped.
That's a tough one. I did a quick search and I can't find the part number for it either. I can find the parts illustration that shows that piece, but none of the parts sites I've seen actually reference it (which is labeled #2 in the official mopar illustration that breaks down the pieces of the mirror). That'll just have to be something you'll probably need to either call or go in and talk to the dealer parts department.
Thanks for your video... related to the inside rearview mirror I see a blinking red led besides the autodim sensor.. does anyone know what that means? TIA
From what I've found online it looks like a blinking red light next to that sensor means it needs to be calibrated, which would have to be done by the dealer.
Wtf man. I paid 100 dollars to my brother to fix it. And it came back off 3 months later. I just watched this and it worked. I feel raped lmao. Headed to my brothers house right now. 😂
Full race prep is not in the plans, but you have inspired me to do weight reduction modding to my Scat Pack Bro. I just stripped out my rear end, trunk panels, cargo mat, speakers, etc, for 28 lbs loss so far. I was thinking about a Braillie Battery, they are only 6.8 lbs., which would get me around -72 lbs. $600, and it comes with the Lithium Charger. Can you give me tips on running a light weight racing battery in my Scat? Is it worth the investment for me, I don't race at the dragstrip, but looking for cheaper alternatives to bolt ons.
If you're not racing, I would NOT do the light weight lithium battery. They have decent cranking power when charged,, but if your car ever sits for a week, you'll have problems. They run down really fast. They have no staying power and practically zero benefit on a street driven car. I have to disconnect mine after every racing weekend because it is not daily driven and I don't want to leave it on a charger 24/7; it's actually not good for this type of battery to be kept at 100% charge 100% of the time. This is according to the paperwork that came with the battery...
I obviously recommend the XS Power battery I have, but artillerybuff is correct about the issues with lithium. If you do regularly drive your car it’s not so much an issue, just have to know what to do when it sits for a week or more. I only drive my car about once, sometimes twice a week (although starting in a few weeks I’ll have to drive it almost daily) and I never keep it on a charger. The times it does sit for a whole week I’ll throw the charger on it for a few hours. I’ve now had 2 occasions it sat for too long without getting charged and died, but so far I’ve been able to bring it back to life and it’s still working for me and I’m about to hit 2 years now that I’ve had it in my car.
@@Scavenger1320 Ok, I will just stick with the basic OEM 50 pounder I guess...lol. Better than being unable to run my Scat after it sits. Thanks Chris!
I'm pretty sure there's 12v power running through the connector to run the features in the mirror, plus I know the rear view mirror is listed as belonging one of the fuses so it would make sense for it to be getting power. Now whether that's continuous power or only on with the ignition I honestly don't know.
Way too long for what it is, but thanks for making it. Welcome to a quick how to video. Then spend 30 seconds on nonsense not related to the how to video.
After searching through dozens of other videos I finally found yours. You saved me a costly trip to the dealership or to a windshield shop. Thank you.
Glad it helped! Thanks for watching!
Om Gaawwdd. Thank u so much!!! I pulled mine off by mistake and they kept telling me to glue it back on.
This video saved me time AND money! 🙌🏽
Glad I could help! Thanks for the comment and for watching!
Thank you very much for the information. This really helped and saved me hours. It fell off just touching it
Glad I could help. It's happened to me just like that before too which is why I made this vid. Thanks for watching!
Thanks man. Mine came off in my hand when I went to adjust it. Unpleasant surprise.
Glad I could help and thanks for watching!

Glad I could help but sorry to hear you had to deal with a theft.
De no ser por este vídeo no hubiese podido colocar el de mi Dodge.!!🥰😍 Gracias
Gracias por ver!
Thank you boss! after 2months I was able to figure it out, after a bunch of other videos. Yours was straight forward and very helpful 🙏🏽

@Scavenger1320 you can do that Saturday rebuild right after you hit a 10.49 with a bone stock scat pack!!
Perfect! This is exactly what I needed. Thanks
Glad I could help and thanks for watching!
Thanks a lllot Scav! I struggled with this for 2 weeks !!
Glad I could help. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for the video!
i hit a hawk on my windshield right where the base plate is and knocked off my mirror.
Wow, I hit a bird once right in that same spot but it was a small sparrow, can’t imagine something the size of a hawk. That had to be loud.
Thank youuuuuu soooo much!!! I thought I broke it and had to replace parts
Glad I could help, thanks for watching!
Bro, after watching the video made connecting the mirror so much more easier just couldn’t reconnect the wire harness to 2014 Dodge Journey
I have a Ram 1500 and am looking for the retention clip/spring as my mirror fell off while installing the dash cam. Any ideas without buying a new mirror? Thanks.

I never put one on and I put it on in 5 min. Never say you can’t do something, stop doubting yourself and others. It’s never that hard man.
YOU ARE THE MAN!!!!!
I had the police car and I did not know how to get into it. Thank you, you are a great man
Mine has two cables in, those cables are not letting me put it back in place
@@princeyarlin Yeah. Take your time
I’ve been trying to do this but there is no way! Plus there is the wires in the way, and the window defroster thing and it just will not snap or turn on
GRACIAS 🙏 A TI MONTE EL MÍO MUCHAS GRACIAS BUEN CONTENIDO NO SABÍA COMO HACERLO TE DOY UN MILLÓN DE GRACIAS 🙏 BENDICIONES AMÉN 🙏
de nada i gracias por mirar
Do you have any codes when unplugging the mirror? What exactly does that plug do?
No codes at all. My mirror has the assist and sos buttons which I’ve never used since I think you need a Sirius guardian or unconnect subscription to even have those features enabled. Plus there’s sensors for the auto-dimming feature which I’m guessing gets power through that plug
Thank you! You saved our day!!❤

Tks bro ✌🏽
Thanks for watching!
Good video. What Is the total weight you have removed from your car?
About 520-540 pounds last I checked. I’ll get an updated weight in September at MoParty and I’m hoping that number goes past 550
Thanks
Thank you!
Wtf man. I paid 100 dollars to my brother to fix it. And it came back off 3 months later. I just watched this and it worked. I feel raped lmao. Headed to my brothers house right now. 😂
😂 maybe the people who rag on youtube how-tos are the ones making easy money off simple fixes anyone can do lol. Glad I could help!
THANK YOU 🙏🏾
The stupidest connector how to get it back on been trying this shit for 15 minutes

Where can I get the actual mirror ?
Do you know if this mirror have 12volt power to use for dashcam?
I'm pretty sure there's 12v power running through the connector to run the features in the mirror, plus I know the rear view mirror is listed as belonging one of the fuses so it would make sense for it to be getting power. Now whether that's continuous power or only on with the ignition I honestly don't know.
So why does mine keep coming off all the time
Question do you how to disconnect the gps on sort of like on star
I believe that is located within the shark fin antenna on the roof, so you would probably have to disconnect that.
Do you know if this is the same assembly that is in the 2022 Charger?
I’m pretty sure it is. I know a lot of parts are shared between them and it would make sense since they all went down the same assembly line.
merci !!!
nice
How much your car weights now?
Low 3600 range.
This is the stupidest, heaviest, and most difficult rearview mirror I've ever had in my 70 years. The Dodge Journey is a POS!
👍👍
