Greg, I removed a rear view mirror from a '69 SB by wrapping my fingers around the back of the mirror (fingers & palm of hand around mirror, with back of hand facing windshield) & pulling straight back towards me & slightly upwards towards the head liner. It came out without any trouble, a minimum of pulling. Might yours be a little rusted? It is just a triangular shaped clip that fits in the hole like the letter A. I don't know if this is a good example. Hope this helps.
