Mirror Caps Installation GuideUpdated 8 months ago

Tools Required

• Painter’s tape or microfiber towel

• Plastic pry tool

1️. Preparation

• Park on a flat surface.

2️. Protect the Mirror Housing

• Apply painter’s tape or place a microfiber towel over the painted parts of the mirror housing to avoid scratching anything during removal.

3️. Remove the OEM Mirror Cap

• ⚠️ Do not use metal tools as they can crack the cap or scratch your paint.

• Use a plastic pry tool to gently wedge between the mirror cap and the housing.

• Start from the side edge or outer corner.

• Work your way around slowly. The cap is held in with plastic clips, so it will "pop" off when you apply gentle but firm pressure.

• Pull the cap outward once the clips are disengaged.

4️. Install the New Mirror Cap

• Align the new cap with the clip positions.

• Press it into place firmly until you hear the clips snap in.

• Start at the outer edge and work inward to ensure a tight fit.

5️. Final Adjustments

• Check Fitment and make sure the cap is flush all around.

• Optional: If Your Cap Has Turn Signals or Cameras

  • If your replacement caps have integrated LEDs or camera mounts (for blind spot, 360 view, etc.):

  • You may need to transfer those components over from the old cap.

  • This might require a Torx screwdriver to unscrew the internals.

  • Be careful with wiring. Always unplug your car battery if you plan to mess with electronics.
