You remove the glass first with a simple plastic tool.
After this, there are 2 plastic pins holding the mirror, which you just pop it out as well.
Once you work the 2 plastic pins, then mirror cover comes out, and then there are 4 screws which holds the LED part of the mirror.

It is very easy.

I messaged you. It is super easy once you get the mirror off.

Just be careful so you don't crack the mirror, like I did.

I should add that this was on my f10, and that I didn't have the auto dimming mirrors, so it wasn't that expensive to replace.

Is there any other tricks to remove the mirror caps? I've popped out the 2 plastic pins but the mirror cap won't come off.

Damn.
I did two G30s without removing the mirror. Gotta tilt the mirror down and to the side and use a thin flathead screwdriver 🪛 to open the clips for the mirror cover.
