I hope this helps... If you just want to be certain, just wait until some actual experts get on this thread. Good Luck.
BTW, post some pics when you're done! I'm sure it'd be the shiet!

I saw a friend remove the rear-view mirror by taking off that plastic part on top and doing something with a screwdriver. I noticed, that there was a metal bracket that's permanently glued to the windshield and you just slide the mirror upwards and off the bracket with a lot of force. Once the mirror is off, you can pull out the electrical cord a little bit and I think there's a connector there that you can disconnect it at. Don't remove the ball joint, that's just trouble if you do.
Rayman, yeah the technology's available to have dimming windows and even windows that go from transparent to opaque at a flip of a switch. Yet, these fancy windows are certainly not cheap. I wouldn't be surprised if they start putting them in cars of the future though if mass production drives down the prices.
