It's just kind of clipped in.

Rotate it 90⁰ and then it pulls out.

No bother.

I only removed mine to replace on Friday so was fresh in my mind. I'll admit I also had to use Google to work it out. 👍

Well, that was dead easy.
It turns through 90 degrees either way. Reverse procedure to refit.

All done and dusted without any issues, Steve.
Replaced a basic mirror with switchable anti-glare version. Yet both have the same VW part number?

:ok
