The fluid inside the mirror is caustic and it can damage both plastic and leather. And it's probably not a good idea to inhale the fumes.

So you'll want to remove it or at least wrap it up in something.

See the following two threads for more info:

The mirror manufacturer, Magna Donnelly, used to replace these for free but they stopped doing that a couple of years ago. You can buy one for about $100. If you remove and/or replace it yourself, be very careful not to crack your windshield.
