Installation
- Fold the mirror glass inward and, if necessary, gently pry out the mirror glass using plastic trim tools to access the cover clips.
- Release the retaining tabs holding the outer cover; work carefully to avoid breaking the clips.
- Remove the damaged cover and clean the area of dirt and debris to ensure proper seating of the new cover.
- Align the new cover and press firmly until all clips engage; re-fit the mirror glass and test adjustment functions.
Failure Causes And Maintenance
Mirror covers typically fail due to minor collisions or impacts, UV exposure that causes fading or paint deterioration, and broken clips from repeated opening/closing or prior improper removal. They do not have a fixed lifespan and are usually replaced when cosmetically damaged or cracked. Regular washing and protecting the painted surface help preserve the finish.
