How Do You Remove An Adhesive Rear View Mirror?
You may need to remove your rearview mirror if you upgrade to another model, replace a broken mirror or just want to move it to another position to provide you with a better view. There is a way to remove a rearview mirror attached with adhesive without damaging the windshield. Step 1 Use the blow dryer or heat gun to warm the mirror mount right where it attaches to the windshield. You are applying this heat to soften the adhesive underneath. Step 2 Test the mirror every so often while you are heating it by trying to gently move the mirror slightly back and forth. Once you feel movement, continue to apply heat and increase the force a little at a time. Work the mirror back and forth and it will release from the windshield, leaving a fair amount of adhesive behind. Step 3 Warm the adhesive left on the windshield again. For thick patches of adhesive, wrap the fishing line around your fingers as if you were getting ready to use dental floss and press your fingers up tight against the wind
