Default Rearview mirror removal?

Anyone have instructions on removing the rearview mirror? I want to relocate the mirror but before I start trying to take it apart, I wanted to check and see if someone has removed it or if the procedure is in the service manual.

Many thanks.

Is yours a video screen mirror? And where do you want to relocate it to?

If you are going to undertake something like that, I suggest that you get a copy of the service manual. Look on e-bay for this item:

This is where I relocated my rear view mirror. Wasn't that difficult and my Peacocks love it.

It just twists off. Same as the C7. Pull the plastic cover off the mount, put a screwdriver through the holes in the bracket, and twist it 90 degrees.

If yours is the camera mirror, be careful with the coax connector. It's easy to damage.

You're probably wasting your time though. It mounts into a solid aluminum bracket in the windshield header. You're not going to be able to relocate it without major surgery.

Do you know if that aluminum bracket holds the plastic piece that goes across the top of the windshield (between the a pillars) in place?

Watched the Tech replace my 2020 C8 3LT center mirror. Took a bit of time but only the mirror came off. Agree with Andybimp get a pdf service manual copy cheap on eBay. His has better pics than mine.

Just a note, Tech thought it was the mirror causing the blue screen. It was not it was the much easier to replace and less expensve camera
