Rear view mirror

Post by craigs135s » Sat Feb 23, 2008 9:54 pm

My rear view mirror has been put on the wrong place on my windscreen. It looks like it has been put on with glue any ideas how to get it off?

I would be very careful, the screen is thin.

I would agree with applying some heat first to see if it softens the glue up to ease it off. I would try with a hairdryer first, not as harsh as a heat gun.
