Removing the Rear-View Mirror on a 2000 Lincoln LS

1. Park safely; ignition off.
2. Pry off the plastic cover at the mirror base (flat-blade screwdriver).
3. Remove the two Torx/Phillips screws now exposed.
4. Slide the mirror assembly upward off the windshield button mount.
5. Disconnect the electrochromic/auto-dimming wiring if equipped.
6. Reinstall in reverse order; torque screws to ~2 Nm.

Penetrating oil helps if screws are seized.
