Default Interior rear view mirror

Does anyone know how to take apart the interior rear view mirror?

I'm planning on doing some modifications by taking two mirrors and taking parts from each one to end up with LED lights, compass, auto dim and the yellow shifter light. I need to be able to seperate the back from the front.

I have the mirrors I just need to figure out how to take them apart.
Thanks,
Tim

Seen loads of mirror swaps but never heard of anyone taking one apart. Hope someone chimes in for you.

I will document the steps and the results when I'm finished.

Still looking for some help on taking the mirror apart.
