Function And Benefits
The mirror cover protects internal mirror components and the outer housing from stone chips, salt and minor impacts while restoring a factory-matched look. Replacing a damaged cover improves vehicle aesthetics and prevents further damage to the mirror assembly.
Installation
Typical replacement is straightforward: fold the mirror, use a plastic trim tool to gently release retaining clips, remove the old cover and snap the new cover into place until all tabs engage. In some cases it is safer to remove the mirror glass first to access clips; use care to avoid scratching the glass or damaging electronic components. No special tools are usually required, but a panel removal tool and protective gloves are recommended.
Common Causes Of Damage
Mirror covers most commonly fail due to low-speed impacts (parking bumps, door strikes), road debris, or UV exposure that causes fading and brittle plastic. Broken or worn retaining clips can also cause the cover to detach. Under normal conditions a painted cover will last many years unless physically impacted.
