Er, no, not really - failing to come off is the exact opposite of the usual problem! Seriously, I've never had to take one off.
I'd imagine the best bet would be to book a life-changing, once in a lifetime trip in a country that gets very picky about missing mirrors...... ;-0
As EMB says, FBH?

Hammer. Big one.
Alternatively, tie it to a tree, when you get back from the shops it'll have miraculously come off!
Alternatively, you'll have acquired a new aftermarket accessory that magically follows your car everywhere you go, leaving clods of mud behind :o)
The tree?
Richard
You can claim that it's there to absorb the emissions from your exhaust, making the car carbon neutral!
How's that for a tree-hugger idea then? Drive around with a trailer full of watercress ;-)
I'm off to the patent office.

no... unless you want to fit a new screen as well... I managed to break a screen trying to fit one once.
There's a bit that stays stuck to the glass, chances are there's a concealed screw somewhere holding the mirror to that bit.

For performing percussive maintenance, a concept that frightened the crap out of me when I discovered it was an approved method of repairing aircraft.
Electrician's screwdriver.

Heh, then I expect the window slider channels are full of moss too!
Is there anything which cannot be maintained in this fashion?
aye - known as "Birmingham screwdriver" round here.
eggs?
