How to Remove the Adhesive from Rearview Mirror Small Round Mirrors?

[LeSerenity]

First, soak the area where the small round mirror's adhesive is applied with alcohol. Use a hairdryer on the hot setting to blow on it, but make sure the hairdryer is not too close to the glass. Any remaining adhesive can be gently wiped off with alcohol to ensure no damage is done to the rearview mirror.

Last time the small round mirror on my car fell off, and the adhesive stuck to the mirror surface was particularly troublesome to remove. I first detached the rearview mirror for easier access, then used a hairdryer to heat the adhesive residue for two minutes. Once the glue softened, I carefully pried the edges with a plastic scraper. When I noticed remaining adhesive marks, I applied a bit of essential balm and let it sit for five minutes, then gently scrubbed with an old toothbrush until it came off. After cleaning, I had to thoroughly wipe the surface with glass cleaner to avoid leaving an oily film. If you don’t have essential balm at home, rubbing alcohol wipes multiple times also works. The key is to be patient—forcing it off can easily scratch the mirror’s coating.
