I just went through replacing the rearview mirror in my 87 300SDL. To remove it, everyone is correct in saying to grasp the mirror stem and pull strongly. It will just come right out.
Reinstalling the new one was a bit more difficult. I took a medium-sized flat blade screwdriver and notched a small "V" in the center of blade end. The "V" reduces the likelihood of stabbing yourself because it slipped off. Then tilt the mirror about 30 degrees and put one side in. Once the one end is in, press in on the other spring loaded pin using the screwdriver and at the same time (while pressing in), snap the mirror into place. It will probably take a few tries, but it'll go in. Just be patient with it.
Good Luck!
