Hi, Just bought a used 2000 XK8 for my first car and I have half of my rearview filled up with the liquid you guys are talking about. I'm still a little confused about the best method of removal and if it would be ok to just stick an aftermarket mirror there as a replacement. Any tips would be helpful!

To remove the mirror, you must slide it DOWN along the curve of the windshield. There is a small metal tang at the bottom of the mount that needs to be pressed to release the mirror- just can't remember whether it pushes towards the windshield, or way- just play with it. Be careful- many have broken their windshield by applying too much force trying to remove the mirror.
Replacement with an aftermarket is possible, but you may lose some features ( auto headlight dim comes to mind). Mine did not have these features, so aftermarket was OK, plus I wanted a rear view camera, and the one I chose has that built into the mirror. The mount is the issue, and the aftermarket I bought has mount adapters that worked with the stock Jaguar mount on the windshield.
I also found you can buy the mount adapters from Autovox, that might allow some other aftermarket mirror to fit. Just not sure if the adapters are specific to the Autovox.

Just as an FYI, I recently replaced my defective mirror with one that includes a backup monitor and wi-fi camera. Easy to install. Came with adapters, and one of them fit the Jag windshield bracket.
Autovox T1400

Did that Autovox T1400 fit in your 97 XK8 ?
I have an 02 XKR with broken ball tabs.
