rear view mirror
is there a secret technique to removing the mirror from the bracket that is bonded to the windscreen. there is small slot in the bottom of the casting but i can't see what is happening in there!

Re: rear view mirror
You need to insert a small flat bladed screwdriver in the slot and then slide the mirror upwards - the part on the windscreen has a tensioned arm that you move towards the screen with the screwdriver. Hope this helps.

Re: rear view mirror
If you wink your left eye whilst tapping your right foot whilst levering the mirror upwards... it'll make no difference whatsoever.

Re: rear view mirror
Be gentle when doing it as windsreens are expensive when I removed mine it was because the screen was being replaced as a nice Irish truck driver used my screen as target practice.
I couldn`t open the link either.
