Those power mirrors!

My gears have clearly stripped. I found a replacement at a junkyard, but the mirror is the wrong color. I figure I can just swap out the gears, but I can't see how to open it up without breaking in on the mirror side. Is there a way to do that without destroying the mirror? Has anyone tried this?
