The current factory rearview mirror must be removed from the windshield mounting plate. There are
several versions of mirror mounting systems. Below are the most common methods of rearview mirror
removal. If you are unfamiliar with rearview mirror removal, seek professional assistance.
Be very careful and do not use excessive force when removing the mirror from the
windshield. The mirror mounting plate may become separated from the windshield
and/or the windshield may break if excessive force is used.
Use one of the following methods that match the mirror mounting configuration of your vehicle:

Gently apply a small amount of additional upward force to lift away the locking spring inside the
