I watched a lot of videos on how to replace the mirror cap and I saw them all remove the glass and screws inside but I was quite surprised by your method because it was easier than the other videos.
strange so simple to remove but there are screw holes on the inside of your new covers, and screw holes indicate the need to remove screws, which means you must remove the glass, no? Audi S5 B9 2017
Yes 100% possible. I didn’t remove the glass. You don’t have to take the mirror glass out, you can do it by just using trim removal tools on the back side of the mirror cover like I did in the video.
@@EvergreenGarage Thanks for your reply. Is it impossible to remove it by attaching several layers of box tape to the cover and pulling it with momentary force?
I believe they are the same brand - I bought mine off a friend but I just looked them up and they seem to be the exact same from that site and a few others - the other difference is price it seems. It may just not be snapped in all the way? Mine sit completely flush

You don’t have to remove any screws and you don’t have to remove the glass!
Is this possible without unscrewing the three screws inside the mirror? Other people were removing the mirror and replacing the cover.

@@우디-c4g I am not sure the tape is strong enough since there are really tough clips in the back that you need to wedge or pry out
Hey what site did you get your mirror caps from, I ordered a pair from Germancaraccesories and they’re not sitting flush.
