My rear view mirror came off, and I dutifully
got a glue kit and followed
all the instructions except for one detail --
I put the wrong side of the
clip against the glass. I discovered this
when I tried to hang the mirror
back up.
> How do I get the clip back off the glass
without breaking anything? The
glue package does not discuss what to do in
this case.

Try a cotton swab soaked in nail polish remover, too bad glue has had time to set. If all else fails, glue another mounting plate to windshield, keep old one in place as a reminder.

Too bad the mirror plate doesn't have markings, as to Top + Bottom and which side glues to glass. I've made a similar mistake, mounted the thing upside down, wound up mounting mirror upside down, and rotating it to put day night lever where it belongs.
You'll never get the current one unglued - not in a reasonable amount of time anyways. Buy another metal part and glue it to the first one.
