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!

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

Re: Rear View Mirror Mount Removal
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"
