Screws into the mirror lock-up cable release socket and has short protrusion you push on.I ordered one without asking the price and was astounded when this little bitty piece of hardware set me back US$ 29. A less elegant solution that works perfectly is to carry a common metal paper clip, bend one leg of the paper slip out and use it to push gently into the socket until you hear the mirror flip up. Works just fine, you can't hurt anything and you can't beat the price. Mike Gardner
