So i accidentally hit my rear view mirror while working in my car and it snapped off, the screw sheared and just the little block is attached to the windshield. I would like to replace the mirror, but can't with the black block in the way. Any tips on how to remove that, the adhesive is wicked strong?
Thanks everybody |

Heat activates most adhesives... I am not suggesting though that you heat up just that spot of the windshield. Hot day, sharp - sharp blade.

I said that to make sure that you don't use a heat gun or hair dryer to spot heat the outside of the window at that spot. I suspect you could cause a crack. |
