Assuming ( Ass, U, Me, :)  ) external mirror not internal ???


Hit it with a hammer ?? All the small pieces drop out quite easily .. :)

or more usefully from Haynes section 11 para 23... (Page 11.20)

"Exterior mirror housing
Removal 1 Carefully prise off the triangular plastic cover panel at the rear of the mirror mountings, then remove the foam padding and unplug the wiring from the tweeter unit (see illustrations). 2 Prise the plastic cover from the inside of the interior door handle. 3 Carefully prise the grip from the door pull handle. 4 Prise off the small plastic covers to expose the heads of the door handle surround securing screws. Undo the screws and remove the door pull handle (see Section 13). Locate the mirror wiring harness and unplug it at the connector. 5 Support the mirror then unscrew the three mounting bolts and lift the mirror from the door (see illustrations).
Refitting 6 Refitting is a reversal of removal. Ensure that the door weather strip fits over the outside of the mirror casing.

Mirror glass

Removal 7 Gently press the upper inner corner of the glass inwards so that the lower outer corner protrudes from the mirror housing 8 Unclip the mirror glass from its mountings (see illustration). 9 Disconnect the mirror heating wiring and withdraw the mirror from the housing (see illustration).
Refitting 10 Refitting is a reversal of removal. Carefully press the mirror into the housing until the centre retainer engages."

HTH  :)
