Pop the glass out by reaching behind it and pulling with very even pressure.

Once the glass is out you will see how the mirror cap attaches to the base. All you really have to do is lift is straight up. It will hang up here and there on the clips, but you have the advantage of inspecting the new ones to see how it attaches.

The key is even pressure in everything with the mirrors. It should be a 15 minute job.

you'll find a couple of pics that may be of interest to you

like UnsavedOne said, just tilt the mirror to one side and then just stick your fingers in to pop it off...not sure about the thickness of the A3 mirrors, but I found the A4 mirrors to be surprisingly thick
