Worked like a charm

After watching the video here I knew this was the only way to go. Worked great and the mirror is mounted solid as can be. You have to crank pretty hard on the little wrench to collapse it, at first I thought it wasn't gonna work. Also, I used a flat wrench as the stationary wrench because a normal wrench made it difficult to get a good grip on the nut.

I was tempted to take a star away because the nut you crank on was a bit undersize but it worked none the less.

Worked like a charm.

This inexpensive set made quick business of stalling the riv-nuts for my passenger side mirror. I figured out how to set it up quickly enough, but brief instructions would have made it even quicker.

Works but could have more purpose made elements

It does the job, but seems kind of iffy functionally. Not bad, but seems a little on the crude side in use. Overall it was good though. It had no issues that caused it to fail, and it did what it was supposed to.
