I told everyone I would make a how to video so here it is. Please excuse the text in the middle of the clips as the program I used to convert it was a free version. I hope you enjoy and if there are any questions please feel free to ask!

no need to remove the mirror. You can just pop the chrome piece up like you did and then pull. It slides out and when you're done, you can slide it back in.

I didn't want to risk rubbing the paint off sliding it under the mirror. It was simply precautionary and better safe than sorry

w204nyc

you're right about that

Great job... Thanks for sharing!

You should post a link to this thread in the DIY and How to Guides for w204 All Together thread!

Thanks, i will put it in there!

You did a great job! I'll have to do this very soon!

xXHotelCrazyXx

Thanks rich, let me know how it goes

Richard2011

Will do! With the lower trim pieces, does the rubber come off, or do you still have to slide the tape under the rubber?

xXHotelCrazyXx

The trim on the lower is all one piece. Rubber and chrome

I guess this video also doubles as a DIY for how to remove the mirror for that LED mirror cover on Ebay. Except this is just how to remove the housing from the car, but not how to remove the panel from the mirror. Additionally, I also know how to remove the tweeter in this video! Thanks!

+1 thanks

So my question is what do you do after removing the chrome trim, vinyl wrap them?

xXHotelCrazyXx

Yes....experimented with vinyl and plastidip...both look great

If you **** up, how much does a new set of chrome trim cost?

tehc300

wow great DIY bud. Gonna be trying this over the weekend.

Thanks

xXHotelCrazyXx

Not sure, but its very very easy to remove, just be gentle and take your time.

NP! Let me know how it goes!

Kenc1103

Would it be ok to just remove upper chrome without putting it back? I had the lower chrome vinyl wrapped and it took me a long time

xXHotelCrazyXx

No because it will leave a gap and the clips/holes would be visible

Samieee

Thanks for the great video. I will be doing this soon

xXHotelCrazyXx

anytime!
