Side View Glass removal
Hey guys,
How do you remove (Without breaking) the glass from the side view mirror? Seems like I read here to soak mirror in brake fluid, been soaking for about 4 hours now.
I replaced the mirrors last year,and when I shut the door last night the glass fell out and broke. Now I'm going to take the glass from the old one to fix it.
Thanks!

FWIW, I was completely successful in removing mine by soaking it overnight in lacquer thinner. No trouble/no scars. Re-installing requires dabs of silicone adhesive on the cast-in posts for bonding.
Good luck - this is a very easy task...
