Aero Mirror Removal

Is it possible to remove the glass in a manual aero mirror without breaking it?

"Hint: to remove the side-view mirror glass, insert a flat-tip screwdriver through the hole in the bottom of the mirror into one of the slots in the retaining ring on the back of the mirror glass. Move it to one side or the other to rotate the retaining ring; this will release the glass. The animation to the right shows how this ring works. Note the slots at the bottom of the ring."

Thanks

Maybe my glass is loose because the ring isn't tight.

Someone who wasn't in the know may have glued it.
