Unplugging mirror power plug!!
Any tips on how to unplug the power plug from behind the mirror on my 2007 C6? I have been pushing down on the release button on top of the plug and trying to pull it out with my fingernails. It won't come out. I did a forum search and couldn't find any help. Any ideas?

There is a locking clip on top and bottom. I used a small flat blade screwdriver to release the lower clip and my finger on the top clip and it just popped free, about a 30 second job after determining I needed to release locks on top and bottom.
Good Luck!

Just be careful not to press too hard so that you don't break the clips.

I tried the scredrive on the bottom but it didn't work. I cannot see back there very good, but I worked the screwdriver and my finger on the top release until I thought I would break something. It just won't come out. There appears to be a vertical opening at the bottom of the mirror housing near the center of the plug. I even tried the screwdriver in there, but to no avail. Getting frustrated.

To plug in an Invisicord for my radar detector. It hardwires the unit to the mirror for a clean installation. The detector mount bolts to my visor hinge on the driver side. It is all hidden by my tint eyebrow.

I may be stating the obvious but don't be afraid to move the mirror to where it is easier to get it out. I don't remember exactly where the clips are but push down the release(s) and just get a snug grab of the wiring with your hand and pull it out. It takes a little force...but be careful.

I was afraid of pulling on the wires. Thought they might come loose from the connector. I'll give that a try. Thanks.
