  • Patent number: 6892610
    Abstract: The present invention pertains to tools particularly designed to remove replaceable rear-view mirrors from the inside of automotive windshields. The present invention is a tool specifically shaped and sized to grasp a windshield mounted removable automobile mirror base and move a locking tab away from a mounting pad to remove the mirror without touching the windshield glass. The tool includes a first jaw that has a curved inside surface with a protective surface or coating. A second jaw of this embodiment is spaced and sized to fit under the locking tab without touching the adjacent glass. The two jaws are configured to allow the second jaw to depress the locking tab by biasing the jaws together while the first jaw rests on the mirror base without damaging it.
