Mode Carbon Mirror Cap Installation

I thought I would post a step by step guide to installing a set of Mode Carbon Mirror Caps.

Standard mirror
Standard mirror housing


Use controls to turn mirrors all the way in towards the car and facing down
Squeeze fingers behind the mirror getting a good firm grip
Carefully pull the mirror out until it unclips
Firmly grip the mirror pulling rewards to fully unclip from the electric motor
Unclipped - position mirror glass so it does not scratch the paint
Be careful that your mirrors don't self close at this point and break your mirror glass or scratch your paint
Locate securing tabs and use flat head screw driver to unclip - Tab One
Tab two
Tab three
Push the mirror housing rewards unclipping from the main mirror
Remove housing
Locate two security screws securing the Led light
Remove the screws
Tools used
Unclip the tab on the end of the led light
Push the led light inwards and remove fully placing into new carbon housing. Clip and secure with the two screws.
Slide carbon fibre mirror housing onto the mirrors ensuring the three clips are secure
Push mirror glass back into position and reposition
