Methods to remove the small round mirror stuck on a car: 1. Use alcohol for removal. Alcohol is an organic solvent that can dissolve the adhesive. Simply apply alcohol to the adhesive of the small round mirror, wait for a while, and then you can remove it directly. 2. Use heat for removal. You can also use a heat gun to heat the adhesive of the glass film. Heating reduces the stickiness of the adhesive, and when heated to a certain extent, you can slowly remove the small round mirror. The small round mirror is an ideal reversing aid, usually installed below the left and right rearview mirrors. On vehicles equipped with small rearview mirrors, the driver can see the sides of the car body and the condition of the rear wheels. It should be noted that the small rearview mirror cannot see blind spots when changing lanes or turning, especially at night.
Last time I removed the small round mirror stuck on the rearview mirror by myself, and it was actually quite simple. First, use a hairdryer to heat the back of the small round mirror for a few minutes. Once the adhesive softens, slowly lift the edge with your fingers. Remember to wear gloves to avoid burning your hands, and don’t pry the mirror directly to prevent scratching the glass. After removal, adhesive residue is inevitable—just wipe it off with alcohol pads or essential balm, then clean the area with glass cleaner. The whole process takes about ten minutes, but remember to do it in a shaded area, as removing adhesive is especially difficult after summer sun exposure. If the adhesive is too stubborn, try a dedicated adhesive remover spray—available at auto repair shops for about ten yuan a bottle, which can be used multiple times.
