    Removing mirror caps?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Advice needed on easiest way to remove the mirror caps. Have searched a bit but could not find anything really related to taking them off. I am wrapping them in vinyl today, and would like to do it with them removed for a cleaner install. TIA

    Remove bottom screws. and slide black plastic plate out
    unclip mirror plate CAREFULLY, yes the mirror is clipped on. makes easy to remove caps.
    once you have the mirror face off you will see 2 other screw holding the housing to the car unscrew those.
    To remove caps

    Edit: Someone please correct me if im wrong. I did this a long time ago some memory is a little rusty.

    Thanks for the quick response Joey. Got them off. Only had to remove the 2 bottom screws, pop the clips on the little plastic piece under the housingand slide it outwards, then the housing just "pops" up over the mirror motor assembly.

    Thanks J and K also for the links. I searched "mirror cap removal", "mirror caps", and something else but didn't find that last thread posted.
