I am currently trying to get my passenger side mirror cover off but it is stuck. I took out the screw but the manual mirror adjuster on my 1986 GT is somehow stuck to the cover itself and I can't pull it out and through. I took off the rubber piece on the tip of the adjuster. It came off on my drivers side no problem. Anyone know what is going on?

heres a picture of it.
the mirror adjuster itself is a little bit rusted, could that be the problem?

There is a small set screw on the face side of the cover. If you loosen that, the adjuster pulls right out. If you can't get the set screw loose, it may be a fight.
