Door Mirror removal Question
So I bought my SS used and it had these extra mirrors attached to the stock mirrors. I am assuming they are stuck on with tape. any ideas on how to remove them without damaging the stock mirror. I tried to pull them off by hand but they are really on there good. thanks

Thanks for posting the vid. I see the person in the video had the mirror turned all the way out to get to it better |
Don’t do it the way the bus took mine off a few years ago, cleaned my right side mirror off. |
Well tried the fishing line again and I broke the glass. So time to order new mirror glass |
An option I tried was a piece of mirror from eBay cut to the right size just glues on top of what was left of the old piece. You might give hellshotrod a PM he has a yard full of donors.
Or, you might consider this while you are at it https://www.ebay.com/p/2x-12v-Car-Wi....c100008.m2219https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.che...7bbd4bfdf2.jpg |
Here’s a how to, the heated mirrors are a great idea!! https://www.chevyhhr.net/forums/how-...on-pics-59475/ |
Got the new mirror glass. I bought both sides. I pryed off the mirror out. Which actullay come out of the housing pretty easy. Then took a heat gun and got it hot. Then scrapped off the old glass with a putty knife. The new mirror glass came with adhesive pads. Only took about a half hour to do both. Saw a video on youtube, which helped.
