So this is going to be a very very very install video of the M style mirror caps.
I've had them sitting in my house for a while.
I'm just gonna go ahead and install them.
Okay, so first step is HAHAHAHA.
OKAY, so first step is to pop the mirror out and I was really scared because it kept bending.
And it wasn't going anywhere.
So come here, get a close up of this.
This is the clips that are attached to it.
And that's what you are dealing with.
We have this mirror cap exposed now.
So what I'm going to do, I have this tool here.
I'm gonna use these to pinch the clips.
If possible.
So there should be three clips.
One is right here.
Another one is up here and another one is in this corner.
There's three clips in total.
So I'm going to go ahead and pinch those.
You push them out.
Okay, that's relatively easy.
The hard part is getting them all to stay depressed at once.
Alright, so now it's popped off.
This is the OEM mirror cap.
As you can see, no clips are broken.
So I'm just gonna put this over here.
Here are the mirror caps.
So I'm gonna be putting the first one here on the left.
There's three clips here.
It's not one of the overlay ones.
It should just line up perfectly.
Pay attention to where the clips are.
And you should just push in once you have them all aligned.
One more clip to push in.
After this is all done and everything is in place and you're sure all the clips are in,
we're gonna go ahead and replace the mirror back on.
Again, this is what it looks like.
You just want to line it up to the areas where it clips and push in.
And once you're sure, it should clip right in as well.
Okay, you gotta push all corners because you want to make sure all the clips are in.
So it looks like everything is in so far.
I'm going to leave it as that.
And that's the the left side.
This is how it looks on the car.
This is just the left one right now.
And compared to the right.
This is the OEM one.
So I'm going to do it from the front view.
And kind of a side by side comparison of how it looks on the car.
And so I'm going to go ahead and do the right side as well.
Now what I've been using is this.
You should probably use a plastic trim tool.
This is all I have at the moment.
But I've been guarding the edges of the mirror with the casing for it.
So I just stick it like this and pry it out from underneath.
Be very gentle with it.
If you're coming in from a really aggressive angle, you probably want to find another section
to just kind of pry off.
So kind of like this and just slowly position the mirror so everything comes out properly.
To make it easier on yourself, what you probably want to do before you even want to try to
pry this off, you want to re-adjust the mirrors and point them upwards as far as they can go.
Just so you can reach underneath and it makes prying a lot easier.
Now that I kind of know what the clips in the back look like, I'm not as scared to do
some prying here.
What I recommend is that the second you're able to stick your fingers a little bit beneath
or behind the mirror, just start using your fingers and that way you can pull more sections
of the mirror as opposed to one singular point.
This is just kind of to guide it for now.
[popping sounds]
And just repeat the steps I did on the left.
Use the little tool here.
So they kind of go back to place when you let go of them.
So you have to be a little bit more aware here.
The very right clip here is out.
And I'm just gonna move towards the center of the car.
This one should be out as well.
Now the last one.
And this should come off.
And again, no broken clips.
They're all intact.
Now you just re-align everything and put the mirror cover on.
All the clips have been lined up.
All I have to do is just push it in.
And they should all snap in.
So there you go.
Just take a look, double check they're all inside.
What I've noticed is that you have to push this area in a little bit because it is still
sticking out.
It's not flush to the rest of the mirror yet.
So just push it in and the last click happens. And go ahead and just replace the mirrors.
Again, make sure it all lines up
Pushing all areas.
Something I want to say about this mod on the car is that first of all I know
this is not a M car.
I'm purely doing this just for how it looks.
To me, it looks good.
I went with the carbon fiber finish and I went with this style because
I thought it looked good.
And for the price difference, I could justify it.
Okay, so that's going to be it for the install of the M style mirror caps.
Again, this was a really simple install.
If you know what you're doing it should probably take maybe 3 minutes each side.
And yeah, all you need is some patience, maybe the correct tools, and that should be it.
You should be good to go.
So once again, thanks for watching!
