Just put my carbon fiber mirror caps on today. Self install as previously stated, took me 5 minutes.

Nice little upgrade. Not the best pic but you already know what they look like.

So, I attempted to change the mirror caps as everyone has instructed to do so here (pry the glass off, push the clips out, etc). I tried 3 times and couldn't get the glass off, and every time I felt like the risk of breaking the glass and/or f-ing up some of the wires behind the glass was going to happen.

Came across this video for the last gen X5, and process is the EXACT same on the G05, and I had the mirror cap off in 30 sec (NO MIRROR REMOVAL NEEDED).



Just figured I'd share as so many people have posted about how the F'd up trying to remove the glass. You don't need to (so hopefully this process gains more traction and helps folks out).
