Depends on what year the xj is and if your talking outside rear view or inside. I just replaced my inside rear view. It's auto-dimming. If it's the inside and auto-dimming, there is a cap on the top of the mount. Carefully pry back near the top and this peice should come off easily. You should then be able to push the mirror post straight down to release it from the windshield mount. Then you'll have to loosen the overhead console. Do this by using a straight blade screw driver to turn the plastic keeper screw, that is is visible with the sunglass holder open, 90 degrees counter-clockwise. Pull gently, slightly downward and toward the rear of the car. The overhead console is held in the front by two metal tabs so there are no more screws. That will free the overhead console and you can see the wiring harness for the mirror toward the front of where the console was. The connector has a tab so very carefully lift the tab and pull apart the harness. Re-attach in reverse order and you'll be seeing things in the rear of the car again! Hopefully not flashing lights!
Pull it off! Seriously.... Its on with glue.

how do you seperate the the centre mirrow head from the screen mount
You need the following tools: Rear-view mirror, installation kit, screwdriver, a glass cleaner, razor blade, and crayon. One is required to wear the safety gear gloves and glasses. Mark the old mirror mount using the crayon and remove it using a razor then mount the new mirror on the same position.
The law says that: new passenger cars must have two rear-view mirrors (one outside, on the right-hand side, and an inside rear-view mirror) new light goods vehicles must have an outside right-hand side rear-view mirror and either an inside rear-view mirror or an outside left-hand side rear-view mirror new mopeds and motorcycles must have one rear-view mirror all other motor vehicles (except pedal cycles) not covered above need to have at least one rear-view mirror.
