theres one side of the mirror where itll pop out if you bend just the plastic and you can get one side of the glass and pry as close to the adhesive as possible its even easier to use an exacto knife and trim at ias you stratch the adhesive too theres acually thumb holes in the back to push against the backing of the mirror

Forget the oven method...sooo dangerous...use a hair dryer for 2 minutes and the mirrors pop right off.... my driver side didnt even have tape on the back... GL

I bought a set of these like 2 months ago and I had the time to install it this past weekend, it took me like 10 minutes at most and it looks pretty nice.

As for the angle, I used to have the stock mirrors along with the small (auto parts) blind spot mirrors, and in comparison, you can see way more of an angle with the small add-ons, specially on the driver's side, but to be honest, its just getting used to it, the angle these convex mirrors offer are more than enough, I wish they were a little bit more bluer' (darker), headlights at night still bother me a little.

GREAT PRODUCT, thanks!
