When enough tabs are released, the mirror plate will start to come away from the tilt ring. It may be necessary to swivel the tilt ring to finish removing the mirror, but use a tool to push the ring through the gap. Pushing on the mirror will re-lock the tabs. For power mirrors, you can also use the motors to drive the tilt ring around for access to other tabs.

If equipped, disconnect the signal wires, noting their positons. Although the terminals are identical, the signal LEDs won't work if the wires are reversed.
