93 XLT
I need to replace the interior rear view mirror on my 93 XLT but I can not find out how it comes off. I looked for the little set screw like I have seen on so many other mirrors, but there does not appear to be one. Do I have to remove the mirror and the flat mounting disk and replace both??

Anybody got any ideas??

It seemed like on my '92 Ranger there was a clip on the bottom that you pulled back and the mirror slid up off the mount stuck to the window.
 






You need a special tool to remove the mirror from the mounting braket. Not really sure where you can get one, might try the Ford dealer. Or Snap-On or Mac might stock them.
 






Usually, those things with age, rust out. Try to spray it with WD-40 and wiggle it a little and then pull it UP. That should do the trick.
 






Thanks guys, I dont have any special tools and I aint gonna buy one to use just once. I will probably just go ahead and scrape off the old mount and replace it with the new mount that came with the replacement mirror.

Thanks a bunch
 






I think mine just slid on and off the metal mount that is glued to the glass. I just had to re-glue mine up there a few weeks ago.
