[DeTomaso] Removing glue-on mirrors

[Asa Jay Laughton]

I'd try 3M Adhesive Remover.  You can get it from your local Napa 
store.  Comes in a square can, about a quart.  Just dribble some on the 
adhesive between the mirror and glass, and let sit.  Dribble a little 
more, let sit, dribble a little more, let sit and then carefully pull 
the mirror away from the glass, working with more adhesive remover as 
you go.

This stuff softens up the glue pretty well.  I used it last summer on 
the headliner glue in the Pantera.  It worked well but was extremely 
messy working overhead.  Doing a mirror should be a cake walk.
