VolkswagenDan Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 ...Trying my hardest not to ask the most stupid question in the world but...Ugh,How does the rear view mirror mount detach from the windscreen? Is it just stuck on? And I assume I can just pull the actual mirror off its ball joint thingy to separate them?Sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loepan Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 You won't get it off easy, don't try and pull it of bare, you will smash the glass before it pops off, use some heat and product Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VolkswagenDan Posted January 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 I feared that might be the answer... Now the question doesn't seem as stupid haha! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 Why do you want it off?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VolkswagenDan Posted January 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 Well the original idea was "get that off, paint it / flock it / wrap it / something it black, so it doesn't stand out as much". Then it dawned on me it's not a case of just popping off, and that's far too much effort Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 Grab the actual stalk bit and twist.It's not rocket science. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete91 Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 Turn the base part anti clockwise. It'll take quite a bit of effort. If you don't fancy smashing your window then make sure you only twist and don't pull. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
