Yep, heat and additional peel force worked for me--unintentionally, this
  weekend. It so happens that the sun shade I have now was applying some
force to the rear view mirror. Ah, another project.

FWIW, the failure occured between the adhesive and the mirror's mount.
The adhesive is still holding onto the windshield well.

I would tie a big weight to the mirror and get out the blow dryer / heat
gun.
