you dont need that at all just move the mirror so you can get a finger in there and then slowly gently pry it out then carefully pull the 2 clips off because if youre not carefull both ends will come off the mirror.

The mirror itself just pops out. Just be careful when prying. Where did you get those, do they have the dimming film on them?
