It's a while since I fitted one, but I remember having to thump it a bit. There's a pair of spring loaded pins on the mounting base and you just need to push hard enough for these pins to pop into place.

Maybe worth putting a bit of grease on the pins to help them slide into the hole. I vaguely remember putting one side in first and then pushing on the other side to get it to click in.

Ian.

I'm with Ian on this, push one side in first, then i used a flat bladed screwdriver to push in the 2nd side whilst pushing the mirror up. Be careful not to slip with the screwdriver...
