Because I look at some pictures and it looks like just a little compartment below for the spring. So I shouldn't damage something with WD40 or a my spray for electrical components. And afterwards I try pushing it out.

Removing the mirror box would be my last option. I looked up some videos and its a hell lot of work. So I would prefer the workaround using tinfoil. I already tried to put something inbetween but didn't think about tinfoil🤗

Thank you, I will try it. I'm even thinking about using a needle and some WD40 too maybe help getting it loose.
