how the $%^$ do you remove the rear view mirror on a base z?

Does this help? Obviously, base model won't have the harness connected to anything, but I'm pretty sure it's identical. The manual doesn't indicate it's different across packages.

I was wrong about it being an Allen screw. According to the drawing, #4 is a TORX screw.

There shouldn't be that much difference in the mirror mounting hardware. I haven't seen a Base setup but every "stick-on" mirror I've ever worked on was the same basic design - "wedge" plate glued to windshield, mirror bracket held to plate with a set screw. Only big differences have been the type of screw head (Torx, Allen, &c) and whether or not the screw was hidden by a plastic cover. YMMV; no telling what car manufacturers will do.

I knew there was something fishy about your instructions.
