They just pop off outwards from the inside edge.
Not backwards or you could break the 3 retaining hooks.
There is also a string that stops you losing the cover.

Fold mirror in then pull the exposed section of the mirror back inline/parallel to the line of the glass. I find a quick jerk works better than a long pull!

Good luck 
The only other way I found they came off was whilst escorting the German chancellor from RAF Northolt into central London and I got a bit close to an oncoming vehicle’s door mirror which knocked the back off mine
