I’m having my maplights replaced in my 2002 coupe. My mirror is a self-dimming type with no screws holding it on the button that is glued to the glass. Does anyone know how to remove the mirror? Are any special tools required?
TIA!

Not what I was looking for, but thanks for the information. The mirror arm has no screws on the attachment bracket, just some sort of clip. I have tried to compress the clip to slide the bracket up and off of the glued on button on the windshield glass, but no success. That is why I wanted to know if there is a special tool to remove the attachment bracket. Anyone?
Thanks!

This may be what you are looking for. It compresses the clip inside to let it slide off.

Thanks for the suggestion. I ended up going to Safelite Auto glass, and they removed it for me at no charge! Great bunch of guys there.
