Default Mirror cap removal

Hey guys, just bought the chrome replacement mirror caps, not the covers. Did a quick search and didn't see much, wondering if anyone knows how to remove the cap? Regular mirror, not tow. Much appreciated!

Just did a quick Search


1st post.... , then continues into the second. After you get the torx screws out, it's easy to pop the cap off

Ah, so I might as well just go buy the mirror turn signals and kill 2 birds with 1 stone. Thanks

Haha! You can if you want, that was just the most detailed mirror disassembly I found. It's the one I used when I put in puddle lamps

Thought about ordering from tasca ford but found a company on eBay that claimed to make the replacements to oem standards. They came in and look great. However, they're a plastic/chromed piece. Not sure if the ones from the factory are plastic or metal. Price says $75 but they're currently selling them for just under $35.

Just purchased the Recons. They were on the list anyway so why not? I'm always breaking delicate things so I only want to take that glass off once at least, that's my excuse!

Good deal man. I want to buy the chrome door/tailgate handle covers and have someone PTM them to my tuxedo black. I have the chrome pull handles and would keep those. Really I'd rather have the factory handle PTM moulding but can't justify the $ for them.
