You rotate it about 30 degrees. The metal is just a spring

Braking the screen would be my biggest worries
I can't remember, it's been a while since I replaced my own...

...the direction doesn't matter? Just turn it?

Ooh, I had that happen to mine and a little liquide had seeped out onto the center dash... It's like bloody acid

Just look for the same version on eBay. If you're replacing the electrochromic with a standard mirror, get one of those.
Up to 1998 had 3-wire, but 1999 onward have 5-wire connections.
Earlier type with cover over the mount: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/166226496755
(Usually a slider at bottom for sensitivity)
Later version with bracket cover split vertically: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/165820261460

or get a disco miror https://www.rangerovers.net/threads/rear-view-mirrors.36686/
...here are 2 more photos of the mirror.
i have opened the case. it is glued at the bottom.
unfortunately my plan didn't work out. but now i know where the brown spots come from. it is a glued double mirror and on one side it is no longer tight and therefore moisture could get in. Anyway, I'm still satisfied.
now I'm looking for a new mirror.

Hopefully you caught it before the gel leaked down on the console below.
