can you remove the arm and mirror without taking off the adhesive pad when you don't need mirror while riding. And then reinstall when you need it

I have used this type of mirror for over twenty years, and currently have four of them in use (homes in different parts of the country). You could pull the mirror off of the helmet mount by pulling the ball out of the socket. You run the risk of breaking that socket/ball or greatly reducing the tension of the socket/ball coupling which would possibly resulting in the mirror flopping/moving during use. I HAVE NOT tried to remove and reattach any of the mirrors I have owned.

I gave up on the adhesive years ago and use hot glue now, and isopropyl alcohol to help remove the hot glue.

I think so. I haven't tried it. But it's a simple ball and socket with nothing much to wear out. You could probably do it daily for a couple of years. If it breaks, buy another. They're just $15.00.

I have not tried to remove the mirror as I find it invaluable when riding in traffic or on bike trips when I am trying to keep track of my fellow bikers who are behind me. The mirror can be swung out of the way when you don't want to use it. Also it can swing it inside the helmet for safe, compact packing.

Not sure. They don't come off easily and I'm afraid to use force in case I would loosen or break the joints.

Mine had completely broken off but its not that hard to take off all u need is a flat head screw driver to pop it off but u need to move the mirror around up or dwn n pop off from the other side. It will only take about 10 min to do everything

That's a great question. I haven't tried removing it. So far it's holding in place nicely with no adhesive sneaking out or peeling along edges. It's protecting the back from scratches which is why I got it.

Hi. Yes, the rod comes out fairly easily and you can leave the mount in place. I have to tell you, though, that I plan to replace it this spring. The mirror surface is polished aluminum. It's durable, but images aren't very clear, which I found to be a huge detriment in traffic.

You do not need to remove, as it is a very good mirror ,even better than the original mirror ,enjoy being modern

No it cannot be removed from the arm. I would advise not purchasing this item. The item is very cheaply made and bent and warped just by installing it. There are others out there that are much better just not delta brand. Buyer beware

Thanks for your question, Jessica; there is a suction base that will allow the user to uninstall the mount. In fact,I've moved it from it's initial position on the windshield to the top of the dash (the extreme rake of the windshield put my Note2 used as gps too far to access easily). Yet, I don't believe that the adhesive on the unit is geared towards the user doing this sort of thing continuously. The Intek is more of a "Set & Forget" type of thing, in my view. With that said, I continue to be very pleased with it's service and value. Hope this helps in your decision.

Yes, you can unscrew the camera from the mount for quick removal without detaching the entire windshield assembly.

Yes, just unscrew it or don't attach it in the first place. This can be purchased without the arm part.

It can be removed from the dash, but you'll have to clean off the sticky part before you mount it again. We've done it a few times.

It can be removed but it's incredibly difficult to do so and you may tear the sleeve. It's not designed to come off - at least with any ease.

You can, but it's not a quick detach. In order to remove: Take off driver's seat, remove the two mounting bolts, remove backrest, replace the two bolts, replace driver's seat. Takes about 2-5 minutes.

I've never tried removing it, but I would imagine that you might also be able to simply avoid installing it during the initial setup. Hope that helps...

No need to remove the mirror. Behind the glass there are plastic clips that can be released with a long, flat head screwdriver. 15 minute job. With beer breaks.

You can take it off however you dont need too. I think it is best to leave it on during maintenance and disassembling.

Yes. The arms can be removed but then the "pipe portion" that the arm slides into is still sticking up a bit higher than the seat & if you tried to slide off to the side w the arm removed the "pipe part" would cause an injury. Maybe a thick towel would be enough to protect u but I have never tried it. I don't think the arms were meant to be removed.

I'm not sure I'm waiting for it to be delivered. I'm using it in my bathroom I'm assuming it could be removed without damage. But don't take my word for it. Have you thought about removing the mirrors?
