It's the tabs, I fully collapsed them, then pushing extremely hard in the little pockets on top of thr tab I can't get the cover to budge.

Look to see if there is any adhesive holding on (come out by the hole)

you need to release the top tabs first then it will swing down from top to bottom.

There's only 2 right, I got those. I will check for adhesive but the car doesn't appear to have ever been repaired anywhere so not sure why there would be adhesive anywhere between the mirror cover and mirror body.

There are 7 all together but the 3 on the bottom are hook shaped and come right out ,looking at the mirror there are 2 on top and 1 @ 9oclock pos. and 1 @ 3oclock pos.

the ones on top and 3-9 are the ones you want to get,I know you have the shop manual look on page 20 in the MIR section your answer is there.
