5TH Gen wing mirror cap

so do I have to remove the glass to get the cover off?

the glass just pulls off from two ball headed connectors on back, its easy to take off but slightly tricky to pop back in, I need to do this too at some point as my mirror cover needs resprayed.

If you break the mirror I can cut you a new one.

Can't remember if there's a rubber trim that goes around it or not though?

Thanks, although I don't want to break it really its good to know I have a back up if I need it.

I know its frowned upon but I am planning on wrapping mine, I tried wrapping them whole whilst still on the car twice and that went as well as halal pork. Figuring I should take the damned things off cause just wrapping the cap might look a bit poo.....

What colour is your car? Think it would look smart colour depending. There is a hard plastic trim that encases the mirror and for the life of me I couldn't get the new piece into it so I glued it on top of old cracked one haha. If anyone knows what the magic trick is please tell.
