The knife grounded out the connections and blew a fuse. Its a 10amp in the hood fusebox. Its the only 10amp small fuse in the box.

Oh ok, gotcha. You can probably use 3M doublesided tape industrial strength.

rear view mirrors are impossibly hard to get to stick. IDK what the windshield repair guys use but it is the only thing that works. My local guys put rear views on for free. Had them do it to my 4.6 GT a month ago.
