malcolml Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 My mirror is stuck to my windscreen with a small adhesive pad may be able to remove by using Meths or white spirit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curly Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 I used to knock mine off on when fitting hoods/half hoods so now use heavy duty Velcro so easy to remove/replace - has never fallen whilst driving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leadership Team SLR No.77 Posted June 8, 2020 Leadership Team Share Posted June 8, 2020 They vary massively and depends how it was fitted, pad or glass glue. In the past I've had to resort to a wallpaper scraper to gradually cut through the adhesive ... more recently I've discovered that the easier method is to leave the windscreen on and drive to Spa, leave standing overnight suitably covered, then when prepping to go on track clean the glass at which point it simply comes off in your hand.Stu.
