Mirror removal

I am trying to replace a rear view mirror on a friends Gallant. The glass cracked and the base is still good so I want to take off the mirror from the base to install the new unit.

Sadly, there is no release point. I found a slot on the bottom side of the base but I cannot figure out what to do to make it come apart.

Any suggestions?

Re: Mirror removal

Hammer! Just stick it in and wiggle it around until you get a good reaction. Could be glued, so add some heat as well.

Re: Mirror removal

Thanks Cris...I called and she had me speak with someone there who might know but didn't...he wants me to bring it by the shop to check it out. I was hoping to avoid a $$$ here

Re: Mirror removal

On some mirrors, you cannot replace just the mirror and have to replace the whole thing
