rearview mirror delete
I installed a Wink mirror today, but can't figure out how to remove the old rearview from the windshield.
OK...I only tinkered with it for a minute since the way my lucks been going I surely would have cracked the windshield, so I thought I'd go fishin for tips first.

Burn the fire.

1) Grab Mirror.
2) Pull Down. *Note: Don't do this on a cracked windshield >_<

I can't remember if the early is same as the late. Mine slid off of the mount. I had to pull towards the roof. I too have a wink mirror and wouldnt trade it for anything.
