Rearview Mirror removal help

Can anyone tell me how to get this mirror off it's mount on the glass. Besides just pulling it or using a hammer... lol? I see there is a little square cut out at the bottom but havent had any luck removing it yet.

Thanks

I'm not sure about your specific vehicle, but all the ones I have removed have had a small allen set screw on the bottom that you have to unloosen. When the set screw is loose it comes right off.

yea I know .. this is a 97 F250 and there is no screw on it. It looks like you put something in this square hole at the bottom to release it somehow

put a small blade in the space where it will come out, a small clip will then release mirror.

Ford manual says :

disconnect wiring if electronic

grasp inside mirror

insert a small single blade screwdrier into slot (rrom bottom driver side}

pull screwdriver rearward until mirror snaps off of inside rearview mirror bracket



i will add, be very careful and do not force it

I use a ballpeen hamer to tape up on the bottom of the bracket. slide the hammer along the glass so you hit the mirror brack only and not the glass! remember you are dealing with glass and does break. You could also insert screwdriver into whole and use hammer too.

good luck!
