theres a clip much like that of your dash guage bezel has but of coarse its much much stronger what i do is get a flat head that goes and fits in there and gently tap and when you get to a certain point you should be able to remove the mirror this is how i do it but you must be gentle as you could cause costly damage to your car if you have a practice car aka junkyard then there you go its the best way to learn

mine was a motherf*ucker to get off, PO looks to have attempted and actually cracked the windshield doing so......i tried and said its not worth completely tearing a hole in the windshield.....then domed myself with it while getting the climate control out :x now the damn thing goes back on but its all loose but hey at least i can get it off when cleaning my glass.
