Re: removing '69 rear-view mirror

[king5zreo@juno.com]

Greg,
	I removed a rear view mirror from a '69 SB by wrapping my fingers
around the back of the mirror (fingers & palm of hand around mirror, with
back of hand facing windshield) & pulling straight back towards me &
slightly upwards towards the head liner. It came out without any trouble,
a minimum of pulling. Might yours be a little rusted? It is just a
triangular shaped clip that fits in the hole like the letter A. I don't
know if this is a good example.
Hope this helps.
