I want to add the Gentex mirror with the temperature, but I can't figure out how to remove the old mirror. I want to make sure I order the correct mount. I don't see a set screw, and I don't think it's the cam lock mount, But I've try the screwdriver from the bottom and don't find any release spring that they talk about. I don't want to apply to much pressure (glass doesn't bend to far )

Anyone done this, ro seen it done, or have a manual describing it?

Thanks in advance.

This should help. Ford Service Manuals - REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION

It helps a little. At least now I know which type I have, it is the one I thought I had. I tried what it says and couldn't get it to budge. I'm not sure what part of the tool department the "suitable tools" are in .

Thanks

The Ford tool department of course.
It looks like one of those tools to put sequins on jackets.

No that's the tool to re-install the mirror.

The removal process says "using a suitable tool", I thought it was funny that they weren't more specific as to what a suitable tool might be. I tried a small screwdriver, but couldn't feel anything give under there.

Unless someone else has anything, I might just go to a windshield shop and ask them to remove it for me. Once I see the back I'm sure I could do it.

I popped mine off with a small screwdriver. Took about 3 seconds.

Isn't it just taped up there, I know I had trouble in a previous car with the tape coming off. Could be wrong...
