Just bought my prius. DS mirror cover (cap, colored part) is scratched to hell and looks terrible.. Can't find just the cap. I can but a complete set of two (driver and passenger) mirror assemblies online for about 60.00 Does anyone have all black side mirrors ? How do they look? Anyone have a pic? My car is dark silver metallic, so I think it might blend. I'm pretty sure if I buy a rattle can of the correct paint from the store and paint the caps myself they will not turn out too well... Thanks!!
aftermarket mirrors -- at least the 1 installed on mine by a body shop-- the mirror vibrates going down the road. not as sturdy as the oe at all. might be able to have a local body shop match your color and paint the new covers for not too much $$. or find a good mirror in a junk yard.
That's what I was afraid of. After talking with the dealer, I can order one pre painted (cover) for 43.99. Done. Now to figure out how to remove the old one. At least I can practice on the damaged one.
Find a flat plastic spludger tool with a small hook lip and, on the short outer edge, get in-between the black edging and the colored cover and give it a firm yank in the frontward direction. It should just pop off. Hope that is understandable.
Came off with my hands. No tools needed. Got the new cover from the dealer today (60.00). Snapped right on.. Thanks again
