I know its hard to see but thats where I mount the RD, u can also see that I have lowered the mounting position but that black thing is for the original mounting location, it seems to be flush with the windscreen and I have tried a razor blade but can't even budge it, feels like plastic, any idea's?

As a detailer, I can remove lots of stuff with WD-40.

Looks like it holds your rear view in place..

I know what it is but it doesn't budge, its solid, it seems to be flush with windscreen, i bet even if I remove it the glass behind it will not be smooth, its gotta interfere with the detector

^ Try heating things up, albeit gently. Use a hair-dryer on medium setting. See if you can't work the razor-blade, dental floss, or even fishing-wire under where the adhesive "should" be.

Those appear to be pictures of the future.

------------------------

Call your dealership and find out what it is - they could probably tell you. Worst case scenario just conveniently break your windshield. Dang kids outside playing in the nice warm weather can't control the baseball. :-\

You pay for insurance right :-D

wow so small and thin!!

But yeah try a hair dryer, it will melt the glue and should just peel off, try a plastic spatula as a metal one may crack the window. :shock:
