I took apart a mirror for my 68 Camaro years ago. From memory I think I poured Acetone into it with the mirror facing up. Then let it set for a while and it causes the glue to expand and break down so that the mirror glass can be removed. Once that is done you can see a plate holding the swivel ball. Grind off the peens and it will all fall apart. I haven't finished it yet but I will probably drill and tap for a screw to attach the plate. Who re-plates the mirrors?
