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!!! |

The acetone will evaporate very quickly, so continuous applications are probably required. Nice thing, it is common around most of our workshops/garages. If you have any paint remover, the non water based stuff, try it as it usually contains methylene chloride with fumed silica to keep it from evaporating too quickly. It's thixotropic (not runny) and will tend to cling where applied. Of course you'll need to avoid any plastic or painted surfaces.
