The method for removing the small round mirror on the rearview mirror is: 1. 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 for adjusting the rearview mirror is: 1. For the left exterior rearview mirror, adjust the horizon reflection inside the mirror to the center of the mirror, and adjust the reflection of the left side of the car body to occupy one-fourth of the right side of the mirror; 2. For the right exterior rearview mirror, adjust the horizon reflection inside the mirror to two-thirds of the mirror's height, and adjust the reflection of the right side of the car body to occupy one-fourth of the left side of the mirror.
Recently helped a friend remove the small round mirror from the rearview mirror, and it turns out the process is quite tool-specific. You'll need a hairdryer, a plastic scraper or a bank card, and some adhesive remover or alcohol. Step one: use the hairdryer to blow hot air at the small round mirror for a few minutes to soften the adhesive without overheating the rearview mirror. Step two: gently pry it off from the edge using a plastic tool to avoid scratching the mirror surface. Step three: after removing the small round mirror, there might be adhesive residue—just dab some alcohol to clean it off. Remember to handle everything gently, as rearview mirrors can break easily. Once done, you can reattach a new mirror or reposition it, which is quite handy for adjusting your driving visibility. Personally, I think heating is the key—too much heat might damage the mirror surface, so safety first!
