Oh this was a bad day!! I was attempting to remove the stock inside rearview mirror from my 2003 Ford F150 and the windshield broke in a spectacular way.
Instead of just using a plain old screw on the mirror base they use clips that use spring pressure and little tabs to hold the mirror to the windshield. If they used a screw I could have simply unscrewed and removed the rear view mirror but instead I was using a pry tool and trying to pry at the little tabs that I could not see.
The whole mirror with the little tab that normally sits on the windshield broke right off and a chunk of glass broke out of the inside layer of the windshield. I was very surprised and I thought the tab would have broken off and not the glass.
Lesson learned here folks. Maybe use the right tool next time and be more careful. I'm quite sure I will have to replace the entire windshield to fix the issue. If I can just re-attach the mirror or broken glass shard, perhaps glue it back on I will update you in the comments below.
Thanks for watching.
