I read the note on the 98 Taurus repair, but my 99 seems to be different. I must have an upgraded sound system because the inside trim piece has a little speaker in it. There doesn't seem to be a screw holding this inside trim part + speaker in. Didn't want to pry too much and break more. How do I get this mirror off - passenger side if it matters. Thanks.
