just get a really big razor, like one of those cheap plastic ones. take the blade out and just start working around the base of the bracket on the windshield. It'll take about 15-20 minutes, but it'll come off, and when it does scrape all the black stuff off the back of the metal and use some 5 minute epoxy to re-bond it to the windshield wherever you want to put the mirror. You can work at the black gunk on the black plastic part where the mirror used to mount, but the actual black plastic stuff is bonded to the glass somehow and is damn near impossible to get off. best of luck.

Speaking of the rearview, is there a way to tighten it up so it isn't so freely adjustable? If I hit a a couple bump in a row, my mirror will be a little low and I have to readjust it.

I get the same problem doofy. Along with that, the problem with my mirror is that the head of the screw on the bottom is all kinds of messed up and is falling apart. I'm not sure there is much we can do but just change out the mirror but I'll find out when I finally get mine apart.
