    Here is my post from a few weeks ago. I still can't get it out. The mirror is in very good shape so I don't want to break anything.

    Fixed it!!

    Just to let you know that the thread you gave really helped me out in getting the broken knob out. the one fellow from sweeden I believe was right on the money, All I did was to use a small drill bit and it bottom out the use the matching easyout and the broken piece popped right out. mine was not threaded but, pressed in and I just bought a new knob of e-bay for about $10.00 thats for a mustang and it has threads, so I will have to tapp the hole, i suppose. Well I wish you luck on yours. Thanks Robert:thumbs2:
