Sharp tap downwards (towards dash) will release it from the mount affixed to the screen

What about sliding the grey part down without damaging the ball joint

You should be left with a  black clip

I recommend a lump hammer. Not just on the mirror...everywhere. :)

Thanks chaps. A smart downwards tap eased it off.
Cheerful scrappie rang before collection, when he heard he was collecting a Vauxhall Omega he said 'don't see many of them these days'. 'When you arrive here you will see five', I replied. He seemed duly impressed.
