removing '69 rear-view mirror

[Greg Merritt <gregm@vwtype3.org>]

Folks,

	Which way do I twist/turn/pull to remove the rear-view mirror on my
'69?  I've tried to pop it out with moderately excessive force by rotating
(as works in my friend's '74 Beetle) and by sliding up, but no dice--I
don't want to break it!  If I were certain of the motion required, I would
use more force.

	(I need to remove it to fuss with some monkey business where the
mirror itself attaches to the mounting post.)

Thanks!
