Golf MkV - How to dismantle door mirror

[dibbo22]

Hi,

Recently chipped my side repeater, having purchased a new one I've attempted to fit myself.

Can anyone give advice on how to dismantle the mirror?

I've removed the glass and screws, but presume somehow the case clips off. Can anyone assist?

TIA. David
