I took my mirror off before, but don't realy remember how it was. The mirror is glued pretty tight with some kind of white foam and it has to pop off when you pull it, you should take it off if you pull harder. I suggest taking the whole mirror off and doing it the safer way piece by piece.

Thanks. Sounds like good advice. Now, how does the side view mirror come off?

Remove the door panel, and you should see 2-3 bolts holding the mirror on the door. Remove these and the mirror should come off.
