Hey guys,
The inside rear view mirror on my '99 Grand Prix crapped out in a very weird way about a week ago. First, a bubble appeared in the mirror on a hot day that distorted the image. Then a few days later on another hot day, the bubble migrated to the bottom but the entire mirror turned foggy and a black corrosive liquid started seeping out of the bottom.
Fast forward - i'm trying to get a replacement mirror, but first I have to get the old one off. I want to remove the mirror and extension arm while leaving the metal bracket which is secured to the windshield with adhesive in place. So I looked it up online and it sounded like a cinch to do. Just pull out a set screw or press a clip depending on the type, and tada right? But no...
After prying/pressing on everything I can think of, and baffling a few guys at advance/autozone who say they have never seen this type of attachment before, the darn thing still won't budge and i'm out of ideas. I'm hoping someone here might have this same kind of mirror and might be able to offer some advice. As you can see from pic #3 (top) and #4 (bottom), there is a rectangular hole on the top and bottom that a small screwdriver can fit into, but once inside there seems to be nothing there to press on or pry, and nothing that gives.
