Side Mirror Skull Cap Removal - DIY how-to instructions

[skinnyjimmy]

Figured out how to remove the mirror cap on the 2025 Ranger Lariat. Only videos I could find were from gen5 or Australian models. Was really easy actually and only required a plastic pick from an iFixIt kit. Wedge the pick between the skull cap and plastic mirror housing and work it around until all the clips are undone. Then slowly pry it off. Vinyl wrapped the mirrors a nice matte metallic copper. Taking the skullcaps off also allows you to swap out lights and do any maintenance work on the mirror!

Video for those who prefer something more in-depth.

Thanks for the instructions! I like the copper accent. It brings a nice pop of color.

Nice, thanks for this! I was wondering about this. I want to wrap my plain XLT caps, just not sure what yet.

Also, now your video has me curious. For those of us without Signals on our mirrors, it appears that you can buy just the signal and swap out the plastic. I wonder, since I have power folding and blind spot, wonder if signal wire is in there too.

Very nice! Now I want to do my matte/gloss to go with Shadow
