Reattaching a D2 rearview mirror?

[yubert]

My rearview mirror fell off the other day. I got some special rearview mirror adhesive to reattach it. However the instructions said to remove the "mounting button" from the mirror bracket.

On the back of the D2 mirror is a metal plate which I assume is the "button" but I don't see a set-screw. So how it it attached? How do I remove it? I don't want to break anything...

Thanks!

You need this to attach the mirror to the glass. If you use the glue it will cause your windshield to crack

Thanks. Turns out that pad is only for D1's. The D2 is glued on. I found out the metal slug can b popped off the bracket using a thin screw driver.

Hi, it seems the "slug" that glues to the mirror on mine doesn't slide/pop-out? But I wonder if it is the same as yours & I am missing something? It is a rectangular shape as opposed to the more (blunt) arrow-shaped ones I have seen on youtube. There also isn't a hole or groove to put a thin screw-driver into. There is however a very small gap underneath it on each side.
Has anyone got a suggestion, please as the glue won't hold the weight of the full mirror for the glue to set? :Wow1:
Thanx.
