With mine, it is a friction fit. Lightly tap the black cover upwards.

I had the opposite problem. When I bought my X, the mirror was loose on the windshield. I tapped it downward and now it's solid.

This is from the service manual. The tool is just a small flat blade that you can make (small screw driver) that you push up in the small slot at the bottom of the mount.
