use a plastic putty knife and slowly work the spot mirror off the flat one. take your time and go slow maybe use a little alcohol to soften the glue on the spot mirror

Heat it up nice and warm with a hair dryer and it should come right off.

Be careful with the heat. To much and the mirror will crack. Been there done that.

If you go with the putty knife route, be SURE it's a plastic one like fdude said, a metal one will scratch and ruin the mirror...

Use 3M Adhesive Cleaner. It'll slowly dissolve the glue and you'll be able to just pull off the mirror.
