theres a set screw that holds it to the tab on the window.

I just took mine off. There is no screw, it slides straight back towards the headliner. I pried mine a bid with a small flat head screw driver to give it some leverage.

I took a small screwdriver to mine and placed pressure on the gap on the bottom of the mirror and the tab... there is no set screw on mine either...

I'm pretty sure I pried it off gently without a slotted screwdriver also. I had to put a little bit of grease on it to get it back on, it fits pretty tight.
