Chrysler Repair: rearview mirror: 99 Chysler Sebring lxi, flat tip, pawl


Question
How do I remove the interior rearview mirror on my 99 chysler sebring lxi (coupe hardtop)?

Answer
Hi Sherry,
In the '00 manual there is shown to be a slit at the front edge of the mounting bracket (at the headlining surface) into which you would insert a small flat tip type screwdriver until you feel it hit resistance which is a spring. Pushing against that spring will release the pawl that latches the mounting bracket to the roof, so if you then while continuing to put pressure on the spring move the bracket in the same direction (toward the rear of the car) you should find that the bracket will slide backward and be released from the roof.
