How do you remove the rear-view mirror on a 2003 Mazda Protege?

To remove the rear-view mirror on a 2003 Mazda Protege, first, locate the mounting set screw at the base of the mirror. Use a Phillips screwdriver to loosen the screw without fully removing it, which will allow you to slide the mirror off its bracket. Once loose, carefully slide the mirror upward off the bracket, and then you can disconnect any wiring if it has features like auto-dimming. Ensure you handle the mirror gently to avoid damaging the glass or the mount.
