Soak the position where the small round mirror's adhesive is attached with alcohol, then use a hairdryer on the hot air setting to blow it; 2. After blowing with hot air, the small round mirror will fall off, and the remaining adhesive can be gently wiped off with alcohol. The function of the rearview mirror is: to reflect the situation behind, beside, and below the car, expanding the driver's field of vision and reducing the occurrence of safety accidents. The method to adjust the rearview mirror is: 1. For the left side exterior rearview mirror, adjust the horizon image inside the mirror to the center of the mirror, and adjust the image of the left side of the car body to occupy one-fourth of the right side of the mirror; 2.

I once installed small convex mirrors on my car and wanted to replace them after a few years of use. The removal process was quite simple: most small convex mirrors are attached to the rearview mirror with double-sided tape. Use a hairdryer set to medium heat and blow on the adhesive area for about 30 seconds to soften the glue. Then, carefully pry the edge with a plastic card like a bank card or a thin piece, and slowly peel it off in one piece. Avoid pulling hard to prevent breaking or scratching the original mirror. After removal, any remaining adhesive residue can be wiped clean with alcohol wipes or household detergent. The original purpose of installing small convex mirrors was to expand the blind spot view, but over time they may become blurry or cause reflective glare. Removing them made driving clearer and safer. It's recommended to clean the mirrors regularly to maintain optimal performance.
