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!!! |

With a hair dryer or heat gun you run the risk of cracking your windshield. I wanted mine off and asked a place that installs windshields how to get mine off and they said Acetone. So I used a syringe with it and it worked well but didn't come right off. The Acetone has to penetrate and your will need to continually apply it.
