IMPORTANT: Do not snap out the interior rearview mirror (1) towards the rear (windscreen breakage). Do not under any circumstances twist the interior rearview mirror when removing. Twisting the mirror off the mirror mount will damage the rear catch. If the rear catch is damaged, the mirror will be loose when installed and must be replaced.
IMPORTANT: Do not remove interior mirror (1) towards rear or by twisting (risk of damage).

Snap out interior mirror (1) from mirror mount towards front by striking with ball of thumb and remove.
