• Are the Adhesive Pads on the CIPA Hot Spot Convex Towing Mirror Replaceable
  I spoke with my contact at CIPA about the problem you are having with the Hot Spot Mirror, # 49403. She stated that what you can use is some double-sided 3M tape. This is basically the same thing used on the mirrors and may actually be a little stronger. Make sure that before putting the tape on the back of the hot spot mirror that you remove the old pad completely, clean it with rubbing alcohol, and allow it to dry. Do the same for the surface you want to attach the mirror to.

• Can Wedge Mirror Be Mounted In Multiple Positions
  I spoke with my contact at Cipa and they told me that the mirror can be mounted anywhere on the mirror of your 2012 Dodge Ram 1500. To make certain you place this in the best position for you, I would suggest you do not remove the cover on the mounting pad, putting something temporary like adhesive tape and placing the wedge mirror on your truck mirror to find the best location. Then remove the cover for the mounting pad and place the mirror in the spot that works best for you.

Before putting it in place for good, hold in place in various locations on the factory mirror and see what would work best for you.

  The mirrors have a 90-degree angle on the bottom. It is shaped like the letter D. So when it is in the D position, it would attach to the passenger side mirror. For the drivers side, you turn the mirror so the D is laying on its straight side.

• Tips on Removing a Blind Spot Mirror Stuck On with Adhesive
  Dental floss is what CIPA recommends. Fishing line, which is thinner and much stronger should not break, and is a viable option as well. Boiling water is not a good idea either because the heat can damage whatever the mirror is stuck on.

The hair drier let's you control the heat and where it is pointed which is...
