Heh I just did this... twice. Swapped the mirror from my parts car onto my 92.

The cover is held on with 4 1/4 inch thick X about 1/4 inch long tabs almost in the center of it. You could maybe use something very slim like a long knife blade or maybe a letter opener or a paint scraper, one on each side, and push in to release two of the tabs.

I broke the first one, then thought I had the second one coming off and if cracked too. The design is really stupid, as you'll find out when you have the broken white plastic in your hands.

Once it's off, there's 3 phillips (on early cars) or 3 Torx (T25 I think, on later cars) that are captive in the mirror assembly. The mirror comes off just fine once the cover self destructs! :)

Good luck with it.
