Floss idea, brilliant. WD-40, also brilliant (zero damage to any paint or finishes, and it completely melts and neutralizes the remaining adhesive). Plastic scraper for adhesive, brilliant (I used an old credit card). Isopropyl for WD removal/cleanup, brilliant. I added a last step of my standard couple drops of dishsoap in water with an optical cloth to finish, and it's done. Took literally 10 minutes. Thank you. I was worried about damaging the mirror, and it's flawless.

@scha0306 Thanks for the tip on old credit card! I removed the whole thing and scraped off the gunk only with an old credit card!
use a credit card brilliant.
Brilliant
IT WORKED! I had to buy a replacement junkyard mirror and it came with a hideous looking blind spot mirror attached. With these tips I was able to get it off and clean like new in less than two minutes. Thank you!
I love a RUclips University. I learn to do everything. Thank you professor.❤😂
Genius stuff! Took only 3 seconds to remove mine with your help. Thank you👍
I'm so glad it had helped you!
👏👏👏
Super helpful. I put blindspot mirrors on a large SUV I bought pre-owned but after a few days the vehicle was giving problems and I was still within my exchange window so was able to safely remove them this way and do an IPA wipedown to make it look like they were never there to begin with. If the vehicle has been out in the sun, it helps to first coat the edges of the adhesive lightly with WD40 and let it soak for a couple minutes before flossing.
This was so on-point. I removed mine with no problem at all. I used a lot of floss only because it was easier to do with a longer piece. I was just too lazy to get a mail except my own nails. lol
Thank you I so much!
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for your support!
Amazing. The adhesive on my mirror was so strong it was going to bring out the actual mirror I was honestly thinking about ordering another mirror 😂😂
Instead of doing all of this tedious work, I'm just going to attach a string from the spot mirror to the tow hitch of my neighbor's pickup truck and yank the mirror off using the pickup truck. I really don't see what could possibly go wrong.
🤣🤣🤣
@@angrysocialjusticewarrior 😂😂😂😂 good luck with that 😂😂😂
I just put my mirrors on, but watched this in case I don't like them!! Thanks for the informative video!
lol, same
My blind spot mirrors were in the wrong spot. It is kind of blocking my blind spot I guess when I drive. lol
Ur video is very useful. I managed to take it off within a min. Thank you so much for sharing. I really appreciated it.
Great video!! right to the point without a long introduction, thanks for sharing!
Worked a treat!!! Thank you so much for posting sir. The floss went through the adhesive pad like a knife through butter.
I'm glad you found it was helpful. Thank you for your support!
Thank you for this information. I just bought a car with the blind spot mirrors installed and I want them gone asap!
brother thank you for releasing this video clip to remove the blind spot mirror it only take 3 second to remove the blind spot mirror but I was planning to change the whole set of the mirror or go to the workshop and spend so much money luckily I saw your video clip it helped me to save my money and time thank you brother may God bless you👍😊👌
Thank You! and glad you enjoyed it!
Genius idea, I stick mine on wrong spot used your idea worked great. Thank you 👍
Literally gave up on removing them until now will give it a shot!!
It's so easy. Give it a try.
Goof off works really good it’s a few dollars at Walmart I’m the paint section
Thanks so much from ireland 🇮🇪
This was WAAAAAAAY better then the last recommendation
Underrated channel. Great content, keep it up!
Thank you so much for your support!
I was really close of just getting a razor blade and cutting it off at an angle. This video saved me the trouble 👍 thanks
Awesome! My goal is to save 1 razor blade at a time :).

CARB CLEANER every time. (At least on glass or metal)
Great trick to add to the database of things to do with floss.🤩
Just be careful with the car finish.
THANKS A LOT ACTUALLY I USED THE HAND SANITIZER AND 40 MINUTES I REMOVED IT
😂
Thanks a lot for this video. I was able to remove 2 sided tape from my car using 70% compositions alcohol Sanitizer
I just got a car a few months ago and didn’t know that you could remove these annoying things lol. Thank you so much!
You're welcome! Thanks for your support.
U don’t like them?
@@PrincessYonna1 No I don’t. They are distracting to me since I’ve never driven a car with them before.
@@misslovelyme26 ok, I might remove them but they seem hard to get off
Yo! You are the only person with this video it seems. Obviously your way can be done differently but same technique but you are showing how this did work! 👍👍👍🙌💯 I like the WD-40 thought because I didn’t think of that right away. I came to rubbing alcohol 🤦♂️🤣🤷♂️ I like the floss idea. Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it! And thanks for your support!
Amazing. So simple yet never would have thought of it. Thanks!!
Straight to the point love it
Thnx Mighty Tiger😎
I could tell right away this was gona work & be simple! 👍
First of all thank God and thank you sir because I used the method and it worked came off like it wasn't nothing .
Thanks for the video man I had all this stuff at home thankfully and I didn't even need the wd-40 the 3m tape came off no problem with the floss
Glad you liked it, and thanks for your support!
This worked great thank you for the tip 👍🏽
Brake cleaner will allow you to wipe away the adhesive. I had somebody put duct tape on the windows to hold them up because the slides were broke off the regulator arms. After my mechanic fixed them we used two cans of brake cleaner and shop rags to get the left over adhesive off.
Thanks for sharing. Glad you had that sticky duct tape residue off the windows... I'm sure how well brake cleaner and the car finish play together...
I NEEDED this video!!! Thanks!!
Yes I like your video. I am Dutch, so mister I do hope that Rubber Alcohol is available in my country.
But however, thank you for showing video.
Works great thanks so much! Thin garden twine works also.
thank you for the video, i was able to remove my out of my side mirror
Thank you! will definitely try this in a few days :D
Thank you so much, your an angel x
Wow so awesome and so easy, thank you so very much 😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank. I put it on the inside ,wrong side of the mirror. Only floss and wd40..was enough. Thanks
Exactly what I needed! Thx.
AWSOME THAT'S GENIUS. THXS ❤
Thank you ❤
Thank you. This was perfect
Genius! Thank you!
My problem is the black one (at the back of the mirror itself) someone has taken the blind spot mirror I suppose, and the black one was left still attached on the side mirror. How can I remove them so I can replace a new one. Please reply asap!
I'd start with the infamous floss :) You'd need to remove the plastic (if that was what you were referring too - 'black one') before you could clean the adhesive.
Thanks buddy! I installed blind spot mirrors but after driving since nearly 40 years without them I find them obtrusive lol
Great video work just like you said it would thank you very much
Glad you liked it! Thanks for your support.
Nails for floss, Nooice!
TY 🤩
Excellent!
Thank you, great idea !!
Thanks it works 👍
A big thanks to this video and to you sir!
Glad you liked it. Thanks for your support!
Worked confirmed
Thanks! Great advice!
this works 100% thankyou
Awesome!
@@mrmightytiger7385 yes but i use a razor blade to get the glue off not a good idea ye it strach the mirror..tho u cant tell once fitted..i know use plastic tool.
Thank you so much!
I wonder if Goo Gone would work also as the adhesive remover after the floss (floss was brilliant!).
Thank you man !
Glad you enjoyed it!
Super, Thanks for the video
I dont have floss rn. Will sewing thread work?
Salamat bossing👌
Thanks..
Glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for your support!
Thanks bro
Awesome!!!
Nice I have a question when you use the hard plastic does it scratch your mirror! Or will it leave it stained? Thank you
"hard plastic" is "softer" than the mirror :)
Actually floss doesn’t work, it breaks easily. I used fish line and it worked. Anyways, thanks for the tip!!
good job
Thanks so much for the help I appreciate it’s was hard little my it still little dirty but it’s okay thanks
I'm glad you like it. Thanks for your support!
@@mrmightytiger7385 np bro take care
Nice bro! Liked!
Glad you liked it, and thanks for your support!
Over spray of the WD-40 causes a film that no amount of alcohol will remove. Nor Windex, nor Spic and Span. Any suggestions?
Yes, it's hard to remove WD-40 film from a mirror, but multiple rubbing alcohol "Wax On Wax Off" worked for me.
@@mrmightytiger7385 Known also as, Elbow Grease. Thanks for the response. You tip on using dental floss as a cutter was spot on. Worked as advertised. Thanks for that also.
Just curious, why the nail?
Can you use windex instead of alcohol?
It should work, but rubbing alcohol worked really well.
Nail polish remover should work too right?
No matter how old this video? It's gonna always be new. I'm just using it in 2023
I which I saw this video before! I scratched mi mirror with blade 😳
LOL! We all done something similar in nature! I'm glad you've enjoyed the video!
Credit is definitely deserved here. My wife isn't upset anymore. So my dinner will be served tonight. 🤣Thanks Sir.
floss...Floss?? Bro thank you so much, was gonna use a metal scrapper 😅🤨🤦🏽
Nice
Glad you enjoyed it!
Are there plastic tool on Amazon?
There should be plenty of plastic tools on Amazon, but an old credit card should work too.
Will WD40 cause damage to the paint?
I spilled WD-40 on paint all the time, but always tried to clean excess off right away... never seen paint issue ...yet.
No. Some people use WD-40 on paint to hide how faded their paint Is. And I'd probably rather use Goo Gone or Goof Off since those are meant for removing adhesive. And gas also works well against adhesives.
I think petrol can help to dissolve the old gum
funny how the same add on blindspot mirror design is the same I want to remove
I placed my wrong now🙁
someone suggested using a hair dryer
I have not tried the hair dryer trick.
Wouldn't brake fluid do both?
It kills covid without damaging the host.... kidding 😊 A JOKE
