Today I cleaned out the car (lancer) and decided to fit the e tag to the windscreen. .oO{ It would be easier to do with the mirror off} *twist yank* so now I have half of a mirror attached to the windscreen and half in my hand. What the hell do they glue mirrors on with these days? How do I get the remainder off the windscreen without breaking it?

the worst part is that I had an argument with the wife about letting her take the falcon for the weekend because I know she will trash it, it will come back filthy. now she is going to come back and have no rear view mirror.

This is already the 3rd windscreen in the car. The original one was replaced when the mirror fell off! still attached to the inner laminate of the screen. 6 weeks ago it was replaced for a crack due to flying stone... if I have to get another its going to be a very dark day.

I tried prying it off with screwdriver.. didnt work. I got stilsons and tried to twist it off, as hard as I could without freaking. Doesnt even LOOk like coming off. All it did was put big teeth marks in it. I cant believe that there is a glue strong enough to do that. How can it grip onto something that isnt porous???

This opens up a mine field of pranks.

no no no.... unless you are advising to get a new lancer.

I have nearly as much devotion to the lancer badge as the VW badge.

use fuse wire behind it, to cut through the tape. then use some 3M UVB tape to put it back on, they use that stuff in large aircraft cause its lighter and stronger then rivets..
