I have a hard-as-nails spider living in my wing mirror. Yesterday I blasted the fuck out of the gap between the glass and the casing for a good minute with the pressure washer, yet this morning I came out and the web was back.

HELP ME REMOVE THIS LITTLE SHIT! Suggestions? I'm open to fire, as long as doesn't melt the wing mirror off.... or explode my car.

I slowly heated my mirror up with a heatgun and it killed the spider.

Or, squirt lighter gas in there and light it, but be careful with that technique. You don't want too much fire.

Or, A can of that raid fly and wasp killer sprayed in there.

I called the AA. They have a special bug team. Never been back since.

I would rather lose by a mile because i built my own car, than win by an inch because someone else built it for me.

My grandad has the nickname spiderman, not because he can shoot web from his wrists, but because he can't get out the bath.

Perfect.

I bet it's just air freshener though. Or an empty can.

Leave the thing to it, otherwise you'll start getting wing mirror flies.

I have something worse!
A wind deflector spider.
Huddles himself up every morning for the commute and then wanders around and huddles up somewhere else by home time
