is there a secret technique to removing the mirror from the bracket that is bonded to the windscreen. there is small slot in the bottom of the casting but i can't see what is happening in there!

You need to insert a small flat bladed screwdriver in the slot and then slide the mirror upwards - the part on the windscreen has a tensioned arm that you move towards the screen with the screwdriver. Hope this helps.

If you wink your left eye whilst tapping your right foot whilst levering the mirror upwards... it'll make no difference whatsoever.

Be gentle when doing it as windsreens are expensive

when I removed mine it was because the screen was being replaced as a nice Irish truck driver used my screen as target practice.
I couldn`t open the link either.

i've picked up a replacement mirror as the one in the bongo looks like its got a big " thumbprint " on it , where damp has got between the layers. looking to swap them over.
