Has anyone swapped, or knows how to swap the black plastic mirror top with a chrome top? I'm looking to add a few chrome accents and don't want to pay for all new mirror assemblies. Ford has an oem skullcap for non-tow mirrors. about $125 on ebay. and no, I'm not going with stick-ons. Just wondering how difficult it will be.

 

It's really easy. There's a few write ups on here. It's basically removing the mirror glass, then there's 4, t-15 torx screws that hold it on. If i can find the thread I'll link it

 

Here is one, bob Mac outlines how to take it all apart in the 1st post

Wonderful! Thank you very much

 

If you dont wont to risk breaking a mirror and dont plan on keeping or selling the black ones. You can just take a flat blade screwdriver on the outside corner at the base where theres a split in the mirror and just pry out the corner a little bit and then push up and out at the same time pops right off. It took me about 15 mins to do both sides.

 

I put them on my 2012 xlt! Took me two minutes. I held the mirror against my chest, the other side nearest to truck in my hand. Grabbed ahold of the black cap and Ripped it off, it has 4 cheap thin plastic clips that will snap off!

Then just pop in the new chrome or painted cap and enjoy!
