Default Rear view mirror mounting location question, please help out a fellow R owner

Does anyone know how to get the little stupid grey cap off that covers where the rear view mirror mounts to the headliner/roof? I've tried prying at it but have gotten nowhere.

Thanks in advance.

Snap cover, Use something like the one in the middle of this pic.

It has a bend in it so the prying part is in your favor.

If your marking the headliner then place a few layers of cardboard between the tool and headliner.

Your method works, butcher. That only makes the mirror loose with time..

Do it my way.
