Default Rearview Mirror Removal?

So, on my '01 Accord the day/night function no longer works. It feels like the toggle at the bottom of the mirror is no longer making contact with what used to switch between the two settings. How do I remove the mirror so I can try and fix it? I'm sure I could buy a new mirror for $15, but if I could fix it, I'd rather do that. I don't see an Allen screw underneath, so I'm not sure if it's serviceable or not. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

It looks like you slide the base of the mirror down towards the dash to remove it from the clip on the windshield. I'm not sure how you can disassemble the mirror to get to the switch.

Removal will be similar to this video:

Very cool. Thank you for your information. My internet has been off and on due to the earthquake today. I appreciate your video.

Unfortunately it looks like a sealed unit, so I'll have to get a clip over mirror for it.
