- 1). Locate the point where the mirror itself attaches to the base of the rear view mirror. You will see a small screw with a hexagon-shaped socket in it.
- 2). Use an Allen key to remove the screw while holding onto the mirror with the other hand. The size of Allen key necessary for this task will vary depending upon the model of your car. Fortunately, Allen keys are usually sold in sets, so the set you have should include a key that will fit this screw.
- 3). Pull the mirror off of the base once the screw has been removed.
- 4). Locate the small hole located at the bottom of the base. This hole contains a tab which needs to be pressed down in order to slide the base of the mirror off of the windshield.
- 5). Take the small screwdriver and insert it into the hole in the base. Press down firmly with the screwdriver and slide the mirror up off of the base.
- 6). Use a razor blade to carefully remove the small piece of the mirror base left on the windshield. This piece is held in place by adhesive and will need to be scraped off.
