Default 78 Vanity Mirror - Fixing?

Hi

Taking the "Basic Tech" subtitle literally, does anyone know how the vanity mirror fitted on the '78 passenger sunvisor is fixed into the rubber surround? The mirror on my '78 is past its best and I hoped to remove it and have a new one made, but I can't get it to come out. I'm trying not to break it so I can use it as a pattern.....

Alas, I can't find anyone who maes/sells tha sunvisor with thye mirror.

Thanks!
