I was just about to pull the trigger on a new rear mirror replacement, but I just found out that you just can't hank the old one off without breaking the windshield.
Anyone successful in replacing their mirror without damaging your windshield? |

I've done it that way, several times. I use a single edged razor to loosen all around the pad glue once it's hot. You can get it pretty hot but don't overheat the glass, you can discolor the plastic safety layer.
