Just take a razor scraper and nudge it gently against the mounting block
after you've removed the mirror.
The old block should pop right off and get lost in the seat.
Use the razor then to scrape off any excel glue stuck to your windshield
then a little BonAmi, Dutch Cleanser or such and roughen the area that you
want to put the new mirror mount.
Super glue works good for mounting the new mirror mount.

Subject: Another solvent question

While we're thinking about solvents or ways to remove things that are glued
on ... What will remove the type of mirror bracket that's glued to the
windshield.  I have a second rear view mirror on my Westy and I'd like to
move it up an inch or two.

Thanks,

Mike
