1. goof off for the tape.

2. if your trying to remove the glue it will be best to get a hairdryer or heat gun to heat it up then scrape it off. of course you could jsut clean it and glue over top but that kinda gehtto.

3. to reattach id use trim glue or some sort of high strength silicon adhesive.

4. nice shoes.

damn what happened? thats what mine looked like when i walked out of walmart after buying some medicine for my cold. some ***hole broke it off and left I have some scratch marks on my door from their bumper too. Here what i would do.

Inside the door there is that triangular piece of plastic remove that it might be hard its the tab kind so be careful you don't break it. You'll see the 3 nuts remove the nuts so you can take the plastic peice that use to hold the mirror in place in this case you have half half left one piece seems its attached to your mirror and the other is still on your car. I took some drywall 1 or 2 inch screws and replaced the old metal ones that don't do **** because they are so small. After that tighten everything up and it should be solid.

GOO GONE for the tape glue let it set for 5-10 min comes off like butter. I did the same with the duct tape.

P.S if your going to use a heat gun or to remove the glue from the duct tape be careful your paint might peel. Goo gone works best they sell it with a spray top under $5 bucks.
