I put the aftermarket mirror on the windshield so it will pass inspection. Problem is, the mirror arm is shorter than stock, so the mirror is higher than stock, so I can't see out the back.
How do I get the button off so I can reglue it lower? The directions say don't use force or heat. WTF!!! |

I'd say try the razor blade too...or just F-it and use a hairdryer and heat it up...not as hot as a heat gun...then take some waxed dental floss (yep dental floss) and try to work it down through the adhesive. This is a little trick people use to get their emblems off cars w/o messing up the paint (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
