how to remove front mirror?

need to get front tinted and they wont w/o it removed... any quick hints or not possible... i got the housing off... but the cable going into the mirrro.. not sure how to unclip.. then i guess the mirror slides back and off? by pulling on the metal pieces and pushing forward?

Alx

trial and some error...

remove black clip with needle nose plyers..

then pry the gold metal side pieces out slightly and push down.. be careful cause otherwise it pops off quick and u end up hitting your sports chrono.

then slowly unclip the rain sensor and peel off window and remove the other clip..

hopefully the rain sensor works perfectly when stuck back on... its just sticky that goes on, im sure they have thought about removing it and it can just be stuck back.
