Whats the best way to remove the center mirror mounting clip from the glass? I have a new mirror to put on that uses a different clip.
Thanks.

lolol thats funny

get an extension cord and heat the ***** up with a hair dryer and just pull on it...itll come off...u may use a butter knife to pry it off if pulling doesnt work...use a BUTTER knife so u dont scratch the glass

a 3 year old does the trick, worked great for me it was really pain less didnt even notice it had happened till I heard an "oops"

if no 3 year olds are available i would recomend pulling it till it falls off or any of the above methods

I used a heat gun on the outside and fishing line or dental floss to remove it. Take your time and dont pull up on the clip, go from the sides

Well you win some and loose some,,,,, just cracked the windshield. I had the blow dryer on it for about 2 minutes and when I went to pull it off,,,,,, CRACK.... Good think I have good insurance that will cover it, plus no deductible for windshield. And,,,, I can get the new glass without the dot matrix pattern on it so I can tint it.
Oh well.... Should of just took it to the dealer
