side mirror removal to replace mirror cap

[YoAdrian]

^^^. That is the dealership that I ordered my Billet silver mirror caps from. Me personally I wouldn’t try and paint them. If they don’t have your color, then I would stick with getting black ones.

You mean Avondale Automotive? That’s the seller of the part?

 

[PorBoy]

Yes and they Do an excellent job with getting you what you want.

My thought too. Found Ivory on eBay but not Max Steel. Do you have a recommended site to search for those parts? All the sites I have found are not very user friendly... might just bug my dealer.

Where did you find ivory?

Any tips or suggestions for removing the glass?

I removed my chrome piece and replaced it with the black piece on my truck exterior mirrors. Thanks for posting the directions. I did end up shattering my passenger mirror glass trying to remove it. I mistakenly pulled from the outside of the mirror and not from the inside as was in the instructions, so be careful when pulling out the mirror part. That's a $180 mistake. I do prefer the all black exterior mirrors.

I followed these instructions, and tried to pry from the inside closest to truck and passenger side cracked. I am pissed! I am not even trying the other side.

Ok so I couldn't give up so I went back out and this time took a small handled pry bar and was able to push up from the back. That worked alot better, should have done that from the start. The non blind spot mirror is 55.00 on eBay from Avondale! It's price gouging to charge 180.00 for one with a "light"

Another project is done. The tool picture I used to brace the entire mirror from behind. No cracked mirror from either side. Shoutout to Josh @avondale for coming through once again.

I ended up having to buy the replacement mirror somewhere else because Josh would not return my messages to him via eBay or voice mail that I left.

I know he is a busy man dealing with idiots like me.

I sent Josh a note about granite covers. He replied within an hour and sent me the ebay item number. Pretty simple.
try him 1 more time.

Post up pics once it is on! It is something I'm considering.

Josh Gum at Avondale also hooked me up with my Granite mirror covers. Should be here tomorrow.

Can either of you guys please point me to the Avondale link for granite crystal mirror caps? That’s what I need too! Truck details in the sig block if the model info makes any difference... I do not have tow mirrors. Thanks!

Nice, thanks @Jako ! Anyone have pics of the granite covers post-install?

 

[nblack300]

Anyone have the part numbers for BOTH mirrors with blind spot monitor?

Will do. Planning on breaking a mirror this weekend

I hope nblack300 didn't break both sides...If you use the tools a couple of us listed you will be fine. If you try to grab it like the instructions I fear the worst. Ask me how I know
