A little less messy method is to remove the mirror, just the mirror part, pop out the two spring roll pins, use something to open them up a bit. A nail, awl, a couple of those little snap-on pocket screw drivers. Pop them back in, install mirror. Have done this on nearly all my clients cars. If they are tough to get back in place you have it right.

They can also be done while still in place. Generally you may have to have a couple of tries at that way though because you can not get the end splayed as much as one needs. And they usually pop out on you anyway.

When it comes time to do repair to the wiring or switch this procedure might make that a lot easier.

OPPS Sorry, this is for the interior mirror. But if you do that don't you loose the ability to adjust them?

I think there are some other things I might try this on though. Thanks. .
