I have a new (to me) preowned XF. I love this car. The previous owner for some reason took the mirror away from the top of the windshield area, and had it glued/mounted halfway up the windshield. Two problems, I cannot see much outside the rear window, and second, the mounting looks like crap looking at it from the outside in at the windshield mounted area.

My question is, can a person 'unglue' of sorts the metal piece that is glued to the windshield which holds the mirror in place? My guess is NO. My only thought is that someday if/wne I would ever need a new replacement windshield, that would be the time to correctly remount the rear view mirror back to where it belongs. Your thoughts? Thanks!
