Easier and quicker to remove, than the torx that was used earlier.

The red is pointing to the space between the 2 legs of the clip. The white is pointing to one leg. A slight pressure on both legs, is all it takes to release the tension on the retainer clip, and the mirror assembly can be lifted off the support with the other hand.

Since, in this case, the mirror was already off, the support would have been removed with a finger on the other hand.

Should have been opening 2 beers, so they could celebrate a job well done.

Found the tool that allows you to remove the mirror, when it is still mounted to the windshield...

I have a mirror again, installation was pretty easy.

And I just realized, the service manual was telling me how to remove the support while it is still on the windshield... :doh:
