So let me preface this by stating that I'm an idiot. We had a rather warm day today 92* and the 12 year old rear view mirror decided to come off the windshield of the Monte. No big deal, went to O'reilly's on the way home from work and picked up some Permatex Rearview Mirror Adhesive. 30 minutes later I'm in the garage, prepping the glass, applying the adhesive and setting the button. Held it for the minute necessary to grab onto the windshield then walked away to let is set for about an hour.
In my infinite brilliance, I was so preoccupied making sure I put the button back up right side up that my dumb@$$ put the button on backwards. So when I went back out and attempted to mount the mirror, I found that the clips on the mirror wouldn't grab onto the button nor can I screw it in because of course the threads are now sealed against the window.
Any tips on removing this? I'm thinking a heat gun is about my only solution here. Your 2 cents would be greatly appreciated.
