thanks

 

Twist it... You'll think it is breaking, but it will pop right up. It's one of those sketchy take-aparts.

 

i never tried that i did push it in to bring closer to my jeep. i will try to do that this weekend. do you have to use alot of force when you twist it.
thanks

 

i have tried everything in the world to try to remove my mirrors from the factory bracket but nothing works. i sprayed it with wd40 let it soak for couple hours came back and twisted and used a rubber mallet on the mirror and still does not move. i tried to use plyers below the mirror and still wont move. i even took a screwdriver and tried to tap it out from where the screw goes and still no movement. any one else have any ideas to get mirror off.

thanks

 

The first time I took mine off I left the bolt screwed in a lil and hit it with a hammer they were stuck how you are describing just gotta use some force lol

 

i did try leaving the screw in and tried to use some force still did not move. it has became a pain in my butt tring to get these mirrors loose

 

I've got the same problem. I tried today and gave up after an hour with no luck. I tried hammering with the bolt partially out and it didn't budge. That was before and after twisting and turning while pulling upward as the instructions directed. Is there something I'm missing here too???

 

I am going to try and take off the drivers side tomorrow, because it rattles sometimes.

 

I stood on my side rails and pulled with every bit of force I had.... Yes they came out, straight up and knocked my tooth out! Lol!

 

Finally got it!! Hammering the bolt "popped" it free
