It has to be twisted off by turning the whole unit counterclockwise. It is tricky to do right and the mount can be damaged, making the re-install result in a loose mirror. I suggest going to an auto glass installer who has done many of these so you don't screw it up.

Thats correct less than a quarter turn left or right, just be careful not to pull on the wires.

If you are not familiar with the mirror removal have a shop do it, very easy to damage as in previous post, loose mount when reinstalled.
