I simply used the end of my nailclippers to slide it out. I waited 2 months to fix it cause I thought I needed a special tool, but you don't. Boy did I feel foolish. You could also just use a flathead screwdriver. Good Luck.

How do you replace the rear view mirror on 1997 ford explorer?

The rear view interior mirror is attached by a black spring clip to a "button" that is glued to the windscreen. To remove the mirror, insert a short flat bladed screwdriver into the slot located at the top juncture of the mirror support/clip assembly and the "button." Pulling the screwdriver forward will cause the spring clip to open allowing the mirror support/clip to separate from the "button." Do not pull on the mirror unduly or be tempted to hammer anything or the windshield will break! Replace the mirror by sliding/working the mirror support/clip from the top of the "button." A slight click may be felt when the mirror reaches the correct location. A small amount of grease on the button may help the support/clip slide over the button. Do not use undue force or a cracked windshield will result!
