« on: February 08, 2017, 17:00:02 »
How do I remove the rear view mirror? I have everything removed from the windshield frame and cannot see how the mirror is attached.

just pull on the neck toward you.  It snaps on and off.

The mirror is held in position by special clips, as a sefety feature and will 'break' loose in the event of a accident. It then clips back in pisition.
The base is held onto the window frame by two screws.


Pull it off by hand as in my  photo. Carefully pull it towards you.
