I tried heating the glass with a hair dryer and using a razor blade to remove the mirror mounting pad with no luck.
So do I need to get a heat gun or is there better way? Thanks for you input. -Don |

Put a little on a cloth and hold it against the adhesive for a minute or two. Should wipe or scrape off easily. |

Use piano wire or heavy fishing line and slide between the windshield glass and the rubber adhesive. Slide it through like cheese |
