On the Chevrolet Corvette C5, the removal of the interior mirror varies depending on whether it is the base model or the auto-dimming (electrochromatic) model. For the base model, disconnect the electrical connector, loosen the tension screw of the mount, and slide the mirror upwards to remove it. For the auto-dimming model (as shown in the video), the system is different: there is no screw, but a clip spring that holds the mount attached to the pin fixed to the windscreen; do not pull the mirror towards you to avoid damaging the mount or the glass.

The correct technique is to rock the mirror side to side, pushing firmly upwards: you will hear a "click" when the clip releases. The video uses a specific tool to compress the spring, but some users manage to do it with a pair of curved-nose pliers, reaching the clip between the glass and the mount.

Once removed, disconnect the electrical connector. For reassembly, connect the connector, align the mount, and push down until it clicks.

The fuse in question is located on the lower side, between the two connectors, and is rated at 25A. If faulty, ensure you use a replacement with the same specifications.
