Replacing Side-View Mirror on 92 Camry

I was backing up in my garage and managed to hit my passenger housing in the process. The aftermath left me with a my mirror cracked beyond use and just a couple of pieces of my housing gone (which I plan to glue together).

Anyways, I have with me a replacement manual housing for the camry in which I want to replace its mirror with the one currently still on my car. How do I go about replacing the just mirror and the backing from the housing? (I want to keep my original one cuz it matches my car's colour and it has power) I see two hinges at the top side behind the backing but I dont want to break it by prying it apart.

I'm not sure about a '92, but on all my other Toyotas (Corollas, Celica) the mirror glass has three or four 'knobs' adhered to the back of the glass. To remove the glass, all you have to do is pry *GENTLY* from as far behind the glass as you can. If you can feel where the 'knob' is attached, press on the back of that.

The glass breaks EASILY (maybe that's why I'm having such a friggin hard time...I've broken two of them!) But if you can feel the knob (sounds obscene...;) and press GENTLY the glass should pop out.
