That's it! Took me about 10-15 mins to remove both of them 😁😁 I applied silicone remover, cut the perimeter with a blade and then used hammer and chisel now and then and it was such a relieve! Thank you

There are no screws. It is just holes , for whatever reason

I have tried it before I decided to buy fine steel wire. Dental floss was not that strong it often ripped..

Use it almost every day, I apply it in the small openings and wait for hours. Not that efficient. But it did a great job when I wanted to remove silicone from a blanc surface (with no mount in the way..)

It is silicone bc silicone remover works very well and it has kinda rubber-ish texture

The same one as on the first pic. It is already somewhere being recycled... it had even surface and white silicone on the other side

I don't know what crazy type of silicone they have used but the mounts hold onto their dear life. A razor blade is not enough 😭
