The glue gun is a sensible idea (or duct tape, for that matter), but I
am not able to separate the mirror from the power folding pivots. Any
idea on how can take the mirror off without damaging the power folding
system?

The power systems are contained within the mirror housing. As with just
about all Honda "flag"-mounted mirrors, three screws/nuts hold the mirror
assembly on to the flag portion of the window frame.

Working with the door open, carefully pry the trim cover from the inside
face of the flag until the cover pops off. The clip that holds it on is
mid-point at the forward edge of the triangle. This will expose the nuts
and electrical connector. Disconnect the electrical connector, remove nuts,
pull housing away from the door. Entire mirror should come off.

Does this work for you?
