Reviewview Mirror Button Removal?

[flint54]

Common wisdom is that attempting to remove the bonded button by mechanical means will likely result in broken windshield.

Sooo, has anyone had success removing this bonded little bugger using solvent? What solvent? It is mis-positioned far too

low for my preference. It just laughs at acetone, laquer thinner, toluene, and 190 proof alcohol. Suggestions? Thanks!

Why are you trying to remove it?? I would use a razor blade to try and cut the bond.

Heat gun on very low setting, to soften the adhesive, and a razor scraper to work the button off. isopropyl alcohol to clean the adhesive.

 

And of course........pick up a mounting kit and follow the directions :D

 

JT......he wants to raise it up from the current position.

light tap or 17 on the side with a set punch and mallet with get it off. as long as you are going perpendicular to the glass you should be fine. Heat gun may work too
