Default Changing mirror caps..

Hi All -

Just received my new door handles and side mirror caps...

Q: How does one gently 'pry' the caps off the mirror housing? I've been at it and can't seem to get them lose/off...

Much help is appreciated..

FYI - Just called my local dealer about changing the door handles and caps for me. They quoted me 5 hrs labor at $400.00...!!!

that's ridiculous just get a small Flathead screwdriver and pry those caps off
and the handles ive got it down to 30 min for all 4. i think you just need to keep looking for a place that is willing to do it for a smaller fee

Just pull the old caps off... my passenger side one was easy. Driver side took a while, pulled off the bottom half in the process, haha. Flathead screwdriver definitely helps

Wow...I suspect that they just didn't want the business.
