Yep, that's the one. In all my dad's cars, they just fell off while he
was driving. Are you saying it can't be done? Maybe I'll just remove
the windshield altogether.

That did the trick. Fast, too. It took longer to explain to my wife
why I was taking her beloved hair dryer out to the garage.
I don't know if it helped, but I put "Goo Gone" on the the mount
before heating it up with the dryer. A twist with a pair of
channel-lock pliers and it came off. The adhesive peeled off, too, and
didn't leave any marks on the glass.
Thanks again.

Re: Windshield mirror mount removal?
Lots of people want to know why you chose to remove this part. Because once
you take it off, you have no where to hang the rear view mirror.

Re: Windshield mirror mount removal?
There you go again, the jealous, REALLY JEALOUS, over the fact that I
once own a '37 Lasalle, what a jealous little draft dodging senile coward
from Hialeah Navarre, Florida, who's only way to get attention is to make a
fool of it's self. With this goat obsession/fetish you have. Like when the
other kids laughed at it's attempt to use foul language in elementary school
play grounds, but just gibberish. Too senile to remember what he last wrote.
You remind me of a little rat dog, like a Mexican Chiwawa with it's
senseless barking, me too, me too. And as usually afraid to use your name,
address, or even sign your statement as any man would.
Again you don't even have the fortitude to sign your lies, what coward!
You're not worth any more time when a cut and paste this same paragraph
it fits so well!
But now worth the time to forward this low life to: abuse@mchsi.com and
to ***,net to nail 4ax.com (databasix.com)
