I'm not familiar how to release the plastic mirror cover from the mirror
framework. on my 99, it was easy as pie: tweak retaining wire as
depicted in the MB video. with the 00, they have a slightly different
mechanism and the spring retaining wire isn't there/seen/used. don't
want to break anything so your experience is appreciated.
