With the mirror housing in the outboard position, press the mirror glass inward until full travel is reached and then use two flat-bladed plastic trim tools \u2014 at the outboard edge and upper edge of the glass \u2014 to apply even pressure at the outer portion of the glass.

Pull outward to remove the glass from the actuator, and then disconnect the electrical connectors.
