Does anyone else have a rear view mirror mounting shoe thingy glued to their windshield? It has been bugging me ever since I brought my Barth home.

It isn't blocking my view but I would like to remove it. What is the best way, would acetone do the job? With my luck if I tried to pop it off the glass would break.

Don't even bother trying to get the thingee off. I've taken chunks right out of the glass trying to remove one due to installing it upside down Red Face

Instead, consider mounting a mirror to see back into the rig or how about a compass/temp mirror? You could also get creative and mount something over it like a standard small compass.

I agree... And the heavier the better..... That way once you get used to it and start to like it there then it will fall off.... When that happens remember this day....
