How do I seperate the motor housing from the mirror? This pic was taken with the motor housing opened up. Now how do I take off the rest?

Red Circles indicate the 4 screws that backed out and caused the mirror to fall out. All I need to do is take the rest of the motor housing off so I can reattatch everything to the car? How do I get the motor housing off?

the round black plastic piece "pops off" the back of the mirror piece. Honestly it's not meant to be done though, so you may break it trying to fix it.

Just for anyone else that has this problem. . .
There is a screw behind the mirror that has to be removed. According to the shop manual use a heat gun to remove the mirror. Once you do that it's all self explanitory. Now that I found out the hard way, is there anyone that wants to sell me a driverside mirror? lol

And like turbovr6 said. . .
It can pop out, but it wasn't meant to be done that way and you WILL break the mirror prying it out. Regardless of how you do it the mirror needs to come off to reinstall it onto the car. I hope that helps everyone in the future.

I'm a little confused by your pic, is that the backside (mirror facing down) of the mirror assembly?
