Hi All
I was waxing my front cap yesterday and came to the mirror over the hitch. While waxing this and putting pressure on it water starting squirting out the sides. Appearently water is trapped behind it. Has anyone one removed this from there camper or have a suggestion on how.

Ok guys, Today I took off the mirror I'm talking about above. I want to tell you what I found behind the mirror, lots of bubbles in the jell coat and there all full of water. The biggest is about the size of a dime, but most are much smaller.
It appears to me that when the double back tape was applied on the back of the mirror at the factory they didn't run it all the way to the two top corners and water was able to run behind it. On the bottom corners it was sealed so the water became trapped behind the mirror.
For this to happen the water has been there a long time.
