Being VERY careful not to crack the mirror glass (assuming it's still useable), tilt the mirror fully DOWN and INBOARD, and pry the outboard upper corner out of the head. Ford says to just pry until the mirror backing plate pops off the tilt ring, but I've never had one come off without shattering the mirror, so I always use picks to release the tabs. Working in good light, peek thru the gap between the mirror plate lip & the head housing. Use picks to gently release each tab by pulling it away from the central ring just a fraction. Sometimes, simply inserting the tip of the pick is enough.
