Having just spent ages trying to work out how to remove the mirror glass without breaking it i thought i would share my findings with you.

It's quite east actually! get a 4mm ish flat ended screw driver and poke it up the hole in the bottom of the mirror casing, you should feel a series of notches that the blade will push into. Give the screw driver a quick push to either the left or right depending which side mirror your working on and the mirror glass un clips. Easy !

No pics as i've lost my camera somewhere! need to find it before Brooklands though 8O

Also, if you look at the mirror, you can just make out the clip at the bottom of the glass, so you can see where you need to put the screwdriver.
