Can these mirrors be taken apart and possibly install a smaller mirror on the mount ?

The heads seem to be pressed on. There is no fastener, so not sure how they could be disassembled/reassembled. Maybe a screw behind the glass? Do you want a smaller head or shorter arm? Car mirrors look the same but have shorter arms. I wouldn't want any less mirror, personally. They are close to worthless as it is

Looking for a smaller mirror. The previous owner mounted the mirrors in the wrong location. The vent windows won’t fully open because they hit the mirrors. So I was hoping I could replace the mirror and not the base

Could you possibly gain more room for your vent windows by spinning the mirror heads upside down?

I've got cheap generic car mirrors and they don't work great.
They interfere with the vent windows and the passenger one won't adjust enough for propper viewing. I had to buy a 3" convex stick on so it was of any use at all.

Wjy don’t you remove the mirrors and mount them in the stock locations?
