Default Disassembly and repair of passenger side mirror on 2014 Q5?

My wife's Q5 got "bumped" today by another car. (They didn't even stop!) Luckily, the only contact point was the passenger side mirror.

There is a small scuff, but more importantly the mirror glass seems to be loose. I haven't investigated in much detail yet, but does anyone know how the glass comes out or how to disassemble the mirror?

I'm hoping it something I can just repair myself.

This did the ticket! Got the glass re-seated in there no problem and even got lucky using my orbital polisher to work on the scuff on the outside of the mirror housing from the impact. Turned out the scuff was entirely the paint from the other car, so the mirror is back to like new!
