How to remove Side Mirror?

Recently my driver side mirror will tilt down from vibration due to normal driving. The electronic control works to adjust the mirror side to side and down but it won't bring the mirror back up. It seems the mirror has come off the track that controls its position.

I was hoping to get a better look at the mechanism by removing the glass part of the mirror but wasn't sure how to do it without breaking something. If anyone has done this and wouldn't mind sharing some instruction I'd greatly appreciate it.

Tilt the mirror all the way down.

At the top, there is a wire retaining clip....release it.

The mirror can then be snapped back into the motor assembly plate (unless something has been broken).

Reinstall the retaining clip.
