Default rear view mirror removal

I can't figure out how to get this plastic piece off from the headliner. Does anyone know how to do this? I wanna take my headliner down to clean it, etc. but the mirror is holding me up. (lol, no pun intended)

Assuming it's a 5th gen, should really be prying with a screwdriver. That's what it says on the shop manual.

It's a 5th gen. I tried prying with a screwdriver and couldn't get it off. I looked in the Chilton's manual too. Maybe I'll just have to try harder. I just don't wanna damage anything.

The 5th gen is screwed into place by like 3 screws. It is actually connected to the roof of the car.
