Mach E mirror cap removal?

[D_West2006]

Just removed my mirror caps and had them carbon fiber finished. Warning - it seems it is impossible to pry out the mirror glass as the instructions without some of the retaining tangs snapping off! No matter how carefully I eased the mirror out I lost some on each side. Maybe warmer weather would be better? Blue circles broken, green one as it should be.
However if just removing the cap it may be possible with a slim pair of mouse nose pliers to ease the cap clips out with mirror tilted down instead. Start with the clip nearest vehicle.
Good luck, very pleased with carbon fiber finish

Carbon fiber does look sweet! Where did you purchase those new covers?

I had them hydro coated at www.aquagraphix.co.uk but you wouldn't know they're not carbon fibre.

If my turn signal ever shows up I'll report back. Not going in there without the part after reading the instructions. Once and done for me

Tim.... Did you ever install the mirror turn signal? I need to do mine, as well.

I have the mirror cap off but it looks like I also need to remove the lower cover but I can't see the clips for the lower and I don't want to remove the mirror itself, for fear of breaking it.

If you did end up replacing yours yourself, please can you post a reply explaing how you did it? As much detail as possible would be appreciated.

Thanks, so much.

Has anyone replaced the turn signal "housing" that is sandwiched between the top and bottom mirror covers? I had the top cover off and the screw out from behind the mirror itself but was unable to remove the part. Any tips to remove it?

I'm trying to replace the passenger side of this part
