Rear View Mirror Mount Stuck
Hey, I still havent managed to get my rear view mirror to snap back into the ball joint on the windshield mount despite already cracking my windshield in an attempt to do so without removing the mount first.
I've tried pulling the plastic piece upwards to slide it out of the metal mount glued to the windshield, but it simply refuses to come off (that was how the windshield cracked). Is there a way to force it out using little force, as I don't want to break the fixed windshield again, if not is there a way to heat fit the mirror back onto the ball joint?

does it slide out downwards or upwards?

Just to be sure. You did remove that screw ?
If that's the screw you removed, then it's just stuck. Jiggle it a little side to side to unstick it, then it should slide up and off.
Worse case scenario. The previous owner may have glued it in place. If so, it may be hard to get off.

OK will try and get back.
