Are you trying to get the plastic mount that the glass attaches to out? If so, insert a flat-tip screwdriver through the hole in the bottom of the mirror housing into one of the slots in the retaining ring on the back of the mirror glass. Move it to one side or the other to rotate the retaining ring; this will release the glass (well, the plastic mount, if the glass already fell out!).
This animation shows how this ring works. Note the slots at the bottom of the ring.

Think it was easier to access the mounting ring when the mirror was tilted all the way in towards the cabin.
Or was it the other way. Been a while.
Was so much easier to figure out when I had the replacement part in hand to see
how it connects.
