don't respond all at once now guys...
sheesh... 35 views and no one knows how????

 

i think theyre tapped or glued on...i know there is such thing as rear view mirror glue (chevy dealers use it alot...honda might have a kit

 

There is a metal bracket that gets glued onto the windshield. I believe that if you slide the mirror upwards, it should come off. I've never tried though.

 

i dunno about del sols, but on my roomates ej2, it's glued on. u have to be real careful about removing it or yule crack ur windshield.

 

yeah, its going to be tricky, and if you do it worng it will wobble alot like it does on my girlfriends car....really annmoying when you have to adjust it or hit a hard bump.....why not just get some touch up paint and a fat brush, and paint it that way, just be careful and go slow.....no ones really going to see it anyway...

yeah i thought about that, but was afraid of leaving brush stokes on the mirror... i guess it's back to the "drawing boards"
Thanks for all the responses!
