It's the fluid inside. I had it happen. Have to replace. I would suggest putting a plastic bag or two around it, until you can remove it. It could leak all over interior.

I removed everything except the mirror, as i'm trying to pry it, but afraid to crack windshield or knock metal mount off. New mirror on order, supposed to be in tomorrow. For now, i bagged it and have a towel on the console in case it leaks. I would think it's a sealed unit, but doesn't seem to be the case from posts i read in the above links.
I had an issue with my mirror shaking around when I first got the car. I pushed it UP towards the headliner to snap it back in. You should slide it DOWN towards the dash side of the glass to get it off, don't try and pry it off or you may break something else. There is a metal clip that help keep the mirror clipped it, you may need a small screw driver to pop the clip to allow the mirror to slide down, but I am honestly not sure. I only slid mine back up and once it popped into place I have not touched it since.
Mine was a bitch to remove....the mirror ended up flying off and smacking my dashboard leaving a little chip in the plastic near the hazard button.
I didn't realize there was a piece of trim on the back of the mirror next to the glass. Once that was removed, a screwdriver pried against the spring-tab removed it.
