I've purchased a new rear view mirror for my 1998 range rover 4.6hse and I was wondering if you guys could provide me with some help. I've taken the front and back covers off of the original mirror and exposed the wires. I also managed to disconnect the wires from the original mirror. However, it seems I can't figure out how to get it off of it's mount on the windshield.
Could you guys help me take off the original mirror and mount the new one?

You will see a metal tab on the bottom of where it mount to the window, that needs to be pulled away from the window as you carefully but firmly apply pressure downward on the mirror. BE CAREFUL though as too much force and you risk cracking the windshield ( I did)

Carefully grab onto the metal bracket that is glued to the wind shield with vise grips so that the handle is parallel with the glass. Then wrap the vise grips with a rag so you do not scratch the glass. Use a quick twisting action to "unscrew" it from the glass. Should come off fairly easily, but might have to jerk it a couple of times.
Good Luck!
