when you get the new mirror covers in they will give you an idea of how the current mirror covers are attached. I am sure that the covers are just snapped in place and if you press in the right spots the covers pop off.

But what I did was to remove the mirror before moving the cover. |

i would advise you to pull out the mirror by pressing one side into which you cant push anymore, on the other side which the edge of the mirror is sticking out, Pull it which would easily come out.
Now you will see the motor and etc, the important part is to pay attention to the clips that are holding the mirror cap in place, the Big ones are the major which you get pass those, the others will follow. i Did this to my F25 (AW), because i wanted to paint my mirror caps black Good Luck~ |
