Pop the plastic cover from the glass part so you can see what's behind it. I'm guessing there's a set screw on there somewhere. (under the cover)

What is the end goal? I have a feeling that its not possible to separate the two.

Can you check the old drawings?

I would like to change mine and add one with all the temp stuff in it from a different brand vehicle. Just pulling it off the ball would cool......

My end goal is to change the mirror on my old 40.

I want to see if I can use this modern mirror from a 60 that has the flip tab for night driving.

And it does seem after many attempts the two are not separable.

Trying to help you out here, no disrespect, but this is the 80s section. Might try asking this in the 60s section. Someone there probably has tried this before.

Thanks but it’s just a mirror I want to take apart so I’m asking around to the 40’s, 60’s and 80’s folks.

Seams no one has ever done it and I’m getting some good ideas in return.

I have done it on an 80 mirror. I have no idea if the 40 and 80 mirrors are the same. It is just the plastic rim holding the mirror in. I used a hard plastic prying tool and VERY carefully pried the rim all the way around. I would definitely not use any metal tool for this procedure. Here's a picture to give you an idea.
