[s-cars] rear view mirror remount

[LL - NY]

Kent's right on the money. Had success with this on my
'85 GTi, of which the separate metal plate looks identical 
to the one on my 200Q. The hard part at this time of the
year is to get the temperature up to the 70+ F required. If 
you cant do this, I'd follow Lee's suggestion and get a glass
shop to do it.
