I looked around, but was not able to find where you mount the rear view mirror on the windshield. Does anyone have the dimensions? Mainly from the top of the mirror patch to the bottom of the chrome around the top of the windshield.
Thanks in advance for the help!! |

I use a Mapp gas torch that has instant start. I use a piece of sheet metal as a shield so I don't overheat the glass. I hold the torch parallel to the glass and heat the base in bursts making sure I don't get too much heat on the glass. I use a rotating motion on the mirror instead of pulling it. |
