The fine gentleman from VS told me it is quite easy to break the glass when using the 5/16 rod.  I broke the first rod the day I got the car by trying to lift my body weight out of the dam thing (two phony hips)using the windshield frame.  I am having the seat moved back as far as  possible and installing a quick release hub as soon as I find the correct supplier to correct my problem...but must repair my damage to the windshield....any advance advice from you would be appreciated.  Nothing broke but the rod.  I have read your postings about plastic tools, etc. and hunger for more.

The VS rod is 5/16"

 

My mirror fits better on the VS rod.

Can you be more specific about the information you need?

 

I am amazed you broke the 1/4" rod unless it broke at the hook.

 

I was very pleased with the rod I got from VS. It seemed to be better trimmed away at the hook compared to the CMC rod.

 

The original reason I replaced my CMC rod was so I could use the VS header center connection to the rod. The CMC rod didn't stick out far enough from the frame. for the connector.
