I bet a heat gun would work. Just heat the little mirror as little as needed while using your fingers to pull on it, or maybe fishing line behind it.

 

Suppose to snow here Wednesday. Great way to end the month.

 

It's gonna be a good day tater.

 

Winter is coming

 

You have to use a brand new razor blade and keep it wet as you're scraping.

 

i'll probably try that. the more I thought about it i guess if i do scratch it a little I'll be covering it up with a bigger circle mirror. thanks for the advice.

 

my first thought was use my heat gun because i scratched the mirror last time. i know it's not a HUGE deal. that's why i figured i'd ask in the TW live thread. Thanks. might try heat gun first. otherwise razor and keep it wet.

 

Took some old one off with fishing line. It worked great. Then goo gone or good off to get the sticky off

 

Never use metal on glass. If you "HAVE" to use a razor blade please use the right ones for glass (NOT METAL).

I think it may be time to let go of the side "steps".

 

Well this is good to know. I scratched the heck out of my Ford Ranger mirror so you're right. Compared to suspension lifts, mechanical issues, or other stuff i realize this isnt life or death. Guess I'll try a combination of goo gone, heat gun, and fishing line.

 

I've been using metal blades in the wash and detail business for about twelve years now. We only use them once though. After they're wet the first time they develop microscopic burs and scratch the window. The tint shop next door has been using them to remove old tint for at least as long.

 

that makes sense. when i do house painting i always use a razor to remove the latex paint from the windows. i did not have good luck the last time with a razor on my mirror. gonna try fishing line, goo gone, and maybe my heat gun a little. i love the feedback everyone. must be a slow day when removing a little mirror gets this much love but i'll take it.

 

A mirror is different than clear glass.

 

I would definitely go with fishing line. Cuts through the double sided tape and no scratches. Then WD-40 or lighter fluid to get the rest off. Preferably WD-40 cause sometimes lighter fluid can damage plastics if it gets on it. G/L
