Mirror skull cap removal
anyone removed the skull caps on the reg mirrors? there are instructions by putco but i want to see if someone had actually removed it. If so, did you run into any issues removing the mirror or did u break the tabs on the skull caps?
Thanks
Thanks

I just ordered chrome caps from the dealership today. I would like to know as well.

My brother did this by sliding around the seam. 1 tab broke on one mirror cap and the other came off with no broken tabs. I've read that the mirror lense first needs to be removed, but Have witnessed otherwise. He JB welded the broken tab back on. If you're replacing for chrome you don't really have to worry about the tabs, do you?

well I found a write up from putco but as with all instructions it didnt make any sense. I poked around about finally got the mirror out and pulled the motor assembly off. one tab as PITA to get it loose. so it broke. tomorrow I will tackle the other mirror and snap pics to show what needs to be done,

Without removing the mirror first it's almost impossible to remove the cap without breaking at least one tab.

I read it but step one didn't make any sense. I put the screw driver in the wrong slot and broke a tab. That's why I am gonna take pics today and post them
