Answer
Supplies Required
- Paint scraper or something else flat and hard.
- Rubbing alcohol (even better if you get the kind in a spray bottle from Walgreens or CVS).
Procedure
- Squirt or spray the alcohol on the scraper.
- Spray around where the Dashcam mount meets the windshield.
- Slowly work the scraper into the adhesive, and continue applying alcohol while you do it.
| Note: The alcohol stops the adhesive from re-adhering. |
To remove the Dashcam without causing damage, try one of the following methods:
Manual removal with tools
1. Pull the mount up and away from the windshield using steady pressure until the adhesive releases.
2. To ease the process, use tools like a plastic card, razor blade, fishing wire, dental floss, or a prying tool. Slide the tool between the adhesive and the windshield to reduce stickiness.
| Note: Wearing gloves can improve grip while using floss or wire. |
Heat application
1. Use a blow dryer or heat gun to warm the adhesive from the inside or outside of the vehicle. This softens the adhesive, making it easier to remove.
| Note: Keep the heat at a safe distance to avoid damaging the windshield or other components. |
Finger pressure (tool-free option)
1. Place your fingers at opposite diagonal corners ( such as top left and bottom right) of the adhesive pad.
2. Apply gentle, steady pressure to loosen the adhesive and pull the mount away from the windshield.
| Note: If the adhesive pad remains after removing the mount, it can be cleaned with isopropyl alcohol or an adhesive remover. |
