Hi All:

I am trying to remove the rear view mirror on my Impala. The factory
service manual says; "using a flat blade tool, remove mirror". That's
it, no picture, no further instructions.

Well, I used a flat blade tool in everyway imaginable, and could not
get that mirror off. I was scared I would crack the windshield, so I
gave up.

So, any info is apprecaited! Have a nice weekend,

Bill

There should be a screw you loosen on the mirror bracket, then use a flat
blade tool to remove the anchor piece. I have a 2000 Impala, but have not
looked that closely at the mirror mounting.

Stop at your local parts store. There is a special tool to remove the
mirror. It slides up into the bottom of the mount and compresses a
little tab inside the mount allowing it to side off.
