Steps
Remove the door panel
Release the handle trim and panel clips, then remove the screws. Disconnect the latch cable, switch wiring, and courtesy lamp before lifting the panel away.
Access the mirror assembly
Remove the upper window-frame trim fasteners and release the trim carefully. Unplug the mirror connector and remove its mounting nuts if needed to access the cap safely.
Replace the cap
Release the old cap tabs around the perimeter without levering against the glass. Align the replacement cap's tabs with the mirror slots and press evenly until each one locks.
Reinstall and test
Secure the mirror and window-frame trim, reconnect wiring, and restore the door panel and latch cable. Test mirror adjustment and all door switches.
