You need to rotate them to reveal a pair of bolts in the base which secure them on the door.
Be careful with these. Only a 4mm allen bit and they're a soft material

Get loads of WD40 sprayed down there before you try and leave to soak for a while, as mentioned the bolt heads can be like chocolate, if you round them out it's a drilling out job then. After these are taken out the whole mirror is removed. |
