Neither of these methods appear to be working. I don't have an old credit card to try - a wall paper scraper just damages the mirror back if you aren't careful.

The glass won't budge and some funny green plastic thing has now fallen off the back of the passenger door mirror.

I seriously don't think I am ever going to get these fitted successfully
