-solved-Rear view mirror replacement 98' C70 Need advice

I have this mirror in my 98' C70 and it looks like this because it broken. I can see during the day but at night its next to impossible. I limit my night driving because of this issue.

I just bought the same mirror on Ebay from a 70 series but when I look for a way to replace the mirror I see no tabs or screws to remove the broken mirror. Do I just need to pop the old mirror out of its socket? Is there a hidden release tab or something? I'm hoping I don't have to remove interior fabric or paneling to get the mirror replaced. 

here is a behind the mirror picture.

Thanks again VS.

You’ll need to remove the plastic trim piece on the top of the windshield that the mirror stem runs up into. 
 

It’s pretty easy to remove - use a flathead screwdriver to pop up and remove the light lenses, then you’ll be able to see a couple small Torx screws. Remove those and the panel should drop out. Then you can get to the bolts that hold the mirror in.

Wow, that's very simple. They left a small spot to slip the driver in as well on the front of the light lens facing the back of the car. I got a good deal on it too. $25 is cheap for a stock dimming mirror.
