If glued in one of the members here gave me the idea of fastening a handle to the glass using 2 sided tape, pulled it right off no problem. That was on my Charger mirror so not sure if they're fastened on the same?
Couldn't remember but now that you said it, Yeap it was you.That'd be me. I did that for a standard mirror off my 69 and it popped right off. Is yours a remote mirror? If so, i suppose yanking away might damage the linkage before the adhesive? Not really sure.

A non remote mirror is easy to remove.....the remote mirror is a whole different ball game. It uses a full adhesive versus 4 glue points...That'd be me.

Just hope the adhesive doesn't remove the silvering of the mirror.

Not if you want a date coded mirror......whole different story....I think that's the least of the worries. Any decent glass shop could cut a new piece for ya. That was my ace in the hole when i did mine.
That is correct....it will stretch the 4 wires attached to the back of the housing or if going superman at it they can break off....From your experience, is it likely that the remote mechanism could be damaged from yanking on the glass?
The remote mirror is a PITA......Thats one had 3 dabs of that black concrete, lol...Some I have seen half the back covered...I soaked it in adhesive remover, used feeler gauges etc...It is a time consuming process...Maybe this can help............

Tried both and it did not fall right out....The black adhesive is a Bear!soak it over night in a product called goo b gone.....or laquer thinner.....the glass will fall right off....breaks down adhesive
Yeah, I think that would work good. Only problem is that I can't get the line behind the glass with it still together.Use thick dental floss or fishing line, slip it behind the mirror and work it down. It should slice through any adhesive or tape and not damage the silvering. ( think of those wire cheese cutters) I've done this multiple times.
Can't seem to find replacements for these anywhere. They are 1970-76 A-body sport mirrors. Drivers side is remote and the passenger side is not. I am going to take them to a glass shop to see if they could make me a set if I break them. Can't believe Ma Mopar made them so they can't be disassembled.And if it does break- I googled mirrors and found a place in Chicago I think that sells replacement glass for a non-remote at least that set me back $9.00 + minimal shipping last year.Cant remember company name.
