It's a ball and socket. Grasp the mirror and torque it. It will pop out and it pops back in. Try not to gorillaize it, a slow torque that makes it slide out is better than a jolting pop. If the ball stalk is the same size(which I bet it is) it's plug and play. Otherwise you may have to switch ball stalks (no biggie just have to split the cases and swap ball stalks)

Here is what the OEM will look like after you torque the mirror/case off of the ball stalk and mount.
