[DeTomaso] Removing glue-on mirrors

[michaelsavga at gmail.com]

Each to his own. I like my glass mounted mirrors that did not require drilling into the doors and the image doesn't vibrate.   Anyway to remove them. Try a heat gun and some piano wire.  Then a razor blade to remove residual residue.  Michael shortt

Mike,
 Acetone can be used to remove glue . You must be careful not to get any one
any painted surface as it will destroy the paint. Another possible solvent
is naptha. It will  work on some adhesives. You must exercise the same
precautions. Avoid contact with paint, vinyl, plastics etc..
Good luck,
Boyd
