The factory wedge button in my LB is in the same location as every other LB on the lot.

The K31's base is just huge. Once it's slid onto the factory wedge button and screwed down, the base extends past the dotted area as seen in my pics. above.

I went to the dealer this morning and their glass guys couldn't get the stock wedge button out. They'd have cracked the windshield if they did. I'll be returning this Gentex and will be trying a CIPA model 36500 mirror instead. Has the same features as the Gentex and hopefully doesn't have a large base like the Gentex.

Have you tried switching out the base with another Gentex model? The base of my Gentex sits more than an inch into the dotted area. Maybe you could just get a base off of a different Gentex model and it wouldnt be as low. There is a guy on ebay that sells all kinds of wiring harness's, wiring diagrams, mirrors, and parts for Gentex. You should try to contact him. Here is his ebay name: wembleysells
