  3. Quickly twist the screwdriver to separate the mirror holder from the mirror actuator.
  4. Insert the screwdriver further under the mirror holder and twist it again.
    NOTE: Do not pry up on the mirror holder to separate the two parts, as this can cause either the mirror glass or actuator to break.
  5. Separate the mirror holder (A) from the actuator (B) by hand slowly pulling them apart while separating the adhesive (C), and detaching the clips (D). If equipped, disconnect the defogger connectors (E) from the heater pad terminals.
