Default HELP!! Mirror cover

I need halp, oops, HELP!. Where can I buy FACTORY mirror covers (mirror caps). I need them now. My painter cracked one during disasembly. We can epoxy it (hairline crack) and smooth it out but a new set would be easier.

I need one set of Factory Mirror Covers (to fit power folding/heated Mirrors.)


btw did you know GM won't sell just the caps?

Do you need both? I have a chrome one for the passenger side. IIRC, 1 or possibly 2 or maybe all 3 clips are broken. Dont really remember how many but I know I remember breaking atleast 1.

Not sure if there is a difference from the 99-02 to 03-07 cl. mirror caps?
I have the 99-02 version.

I need the passenger side but damn, it's got to be plastic so i can paint it We'll just 'repair' the cracked one and move on.

I don't think there's any difference from 03-05, not sure about the 06-07.

Damn I want my truck back.....2 weeks with the Corolla is boring.

They're all plastic. Just a chrome coating. Its a bit harder to paint but w/ the right prep it can be done. Sending PM

You should anodize your mirror caps.

Have a P/N? Are there different versions?
Cause on my '04 Silvy LS it has the stock black plastic w/. heat. They fold in manually.

I've wondered before if I could put some mirror caps on, but IIRC, mine are all 1 pc. It sounds funny for as many times I've walked past em. So I think I'd either need mirrors from a higher trim level or go aftermkt. :nunchuk1:

Ideas?
