This is funny...at least to me.

The mirror rotates, yes rotates. The black lower section is bolted to
the door, the upper painted section rotates(long story how I found out).
If you really want to remove the entire assembly, just rotate it and it
will expose two bolts.

If you just need to replace the glass, and maybe the "attitude"
adjustment motor assembly. Then pop the black trim ring off. Then use
something to get behind the glass on each side and pull outward with
equal pressure. Use something that is wide to distribute the pressure so
you don't break the glass (at least on the new mirror). Don't pull too
far, the heater wires are attached to the back of the glass. If the
attitude adjustment assembly has been broken also, you can swap that out
too, you just have to splice in the new assembly (use the heat sealing
crimp splicers). 

If you attitude adjustment assembly isn't broken, keep the spare, it
could come in handy down the road.
