Sooo, I may or may not have purchased this K.G. Works mirror stuff, just because I liked it. But I happen to have a '97 miata with the RVM attached on the windshield. How can I remove it? Has anyone done it? Will it leave any marks?

You'll need an earlier 90/93 windshield
Even if you remove the adhesive there will still be a black placing mark from the factory
If you do need a windshield, get one w/o tinted visor top.
That sounds like a lot more effort than what I'm willing to do. I guess I'll have to live with that black mark, for now
In the US market 90 to 95 cars have the mirror on the header and 96 and up have it on the windshield. I don't know about the rest of the world.Quote:

My EUDM '97 indeed had the mirror on the windscreen.
@Greasemonkey I just removed my map light without paying to much attention, but I think the holes for the screws were only two, while this particular mirror requires four screws, so I might end up drilling 2 holes.
Yes the windshield frame is the same, just remove the light and you can mount a mirror there.Quote:

Thanks Rustrat! The Zoom I'm looking at just has two holes. :)

Thanks! Good to know. When I decide to change, the zoom is definitely one of my favorites.
Zoom has a lot more options, have a look in this thread, it should helpQuote:
