    You can just pry it off.
    It snaps on to the motor.


    How do I know?
    My wife killed my passenger mirror assembly by hitting a bird (so she says)
    She drove up with the mirror dangling by the wires.
    It was the first time she had she driven my VX since she totaled my Ebony VX.

    Mark,

    Thanks for the reply. From what I could see with the flash light that's what it looked like I needed to do, but I couldn't get the clips to budge and I didn't want to break them or the glass. Do I need to just keep pulling and hopefully it will let go?

    As far as the wife driving the VX; tell her to STOP HITTING STUFF!! Seems a little odd that she totals one and "hits a bird" with the other. (BTW it's good to see you back on the site).

    A heat gun and a plastic putty knife will help. Go slow and work the edge of the glass out to the point that you can get the putty knife under it, try pry gently. There is a black sticky adhesive of some sort under it, but the heat gun will take care of that and just make it "gooey". I think I still have a mirror housing if you need one. PM me or email me and I'll get it to you - just pay for the shipping.
