- Fast, simple swap saves labour time in repair shops and home garages.
How It Works And Why Covers Fail
Mirror covers protect the mirror housing from impact, stones, and weather. They are cosmetic and aerodynamic, and they help shield wiring and mirror mechanisms from dirt. Covers commonly fail due to collisions, side impacts, stone chips, prolonged UV exposure that can cause brittleness, or broken mounting clips from repeated knocks.
Replacement Instructions
Recommended basic steps for replacement (for experienced mechanics or competent DIYers):
- Carefully adjust the mirror glass to an inward position to gain access to the cover edge.
- Use a plastic trim tool to gently release the retaining clips around the cover edge. Start at one side and work evenly to avoid breaking clips.
- Remove the old cover and clean the mirror housing to ensure no debris prevents proper seating.
- Align the new cover with the housing, press firmly until all clips engage. Confirm secure fit by checking at several clip points.
- If the vehicle has electrical features routed through the mirror (e.g., heating or indicators), ensure connectors are handled carefully and reattached where applicable.
