    Rear View Mirror

    This is probably a stupid question but here goes. My rear view mirror needs to be tightened up. How the heck do I get the light sensor out of the way to get at the screw?:confused: I see no fasteners of any kind and no obvious clips or anything holding it on. Any thoughts?
