Can someone tell me how to remove the lower mirror covers on the M5 mirrors? I need to swap them for something new. ![Smile](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/smile.gif)
**EDIT** - I found these DIY's on M5Board: http://www.m5board.com/vbulletin/e63-bmw-m...ror-covers.html
Do you really have to remove the mirror from the housing? If so, anyone know where to start? I assume the same applies to the standard mirrors as well, for removing, no? I should have watched more McGyver when I was younger!

You need to have L or T style thin torx tools (with long body) because the screws are sitting deep inside the holes, about 1 1/2 inch deep.

Thanks Nick! I will try it tonight, when I get home from dinner. What would I do without you!?!?!
