Default Electrochromatic mirror removal?

How do you remove the electrochromatic mirror from the windshield? I can not find any torx screws to loosen up. Do I need a special tool?


Thanks,

AZC5

Look at the mirror mounting through the outside front of the window, so you can see the mounting. Typically, a rear view mirror slides down over a metal tab that is glued to the inside front window. If yours is like that, you will lift up on the mirror to remove it from the window.

Maybe someone else can give a more specific Corvette answer. Mine is at home in the garage - otherwise, I'd run out and take a look for 'ya!

It does have a very very tight metal tab holding it on that has to be pried up to release the mirror....good luck. Be careful not to crack the windshield!
