Rear View Mirror Mount Removal

For the life of me I can't get the mount for the rear view mirror off. It's stuck like a good'un!

Any tips for getting it off without breaking the screen???

Ta!

Have you removed the tiny allen-headed bolt? It holds the mirror onto the base that's stuck on the 'screen.

if it's not a daft question, why d'ya want it taken off?

I need it off so I can fit this... http://www.vwheritage.com/vw_act_shop.p ... try_GB.htm

The mirror itself has disintegrated away just leaving the mount atm

i'm having the same problem, so bump.
tried heat and razor blade, but no luck.
managed to snap my interior mirror so i'm fitting a nice old school mirror out of a healey.

probably stuck on with 2-pack adhesive. i'd guess you'll need to find something that will eat this, without damaging the glass.

new screen might be easier! "hello, autoglass? i've just had a stone thru my windscreen"
