Anybody give me an idea how to install rearview mirror. The mirror it self has a square buhing inside the hole where the screw goes to attach to ball joint. But my problem is, the screw will not pass thru the bushing to tighten to the other side of ball joint Ant help would be appreciated

Is your your mirror similar to THIS ONE?
If it is, I can't see why there would be a problem like you're having, unless the bushing itself is the wrong one, or it is messed up in some way...

I replaced mine and it was hard cuz all the blood runs down your arms, then it's hard to control your fingers to tighten up the screw/s. 
I had trouble a bit, but I figured it out......can't remember what I did (something with positioning it correctly)......why am I even answering this?

Mick , do you look that much in your mirror as it was to be replaced ? Or was it lipstick ?

Yo Barry!! 
No lipstick, I actually do use it a lot, that's why I fixed it.
