WTB Plastic cover cap for side mirror

[Mazzio]

I'm looking for a cap for my passenger side mirror. I'd like to find an original black one so that I don't have to mess with getting it painted. I don't need the whole mirror. Just the outside plastic shell.

1998 318ti, black, passenger side, R side mirror cover cap

I have one.... I'll have to see how bad it is. I'll get a pic tomorrow morning.

Okay cool. Thanks.

Pics.... cover has some scratches, but looks ok.

[Mazzio]

it looks pretty good. certainly better than diving around with no cap at all. :wink:

Let me know what you want for it.

10 plus shipping?

I'll also have to figure out how to disassemble it...

[Mazzio]

okay, it's a deal.

I don't know how to get it off either... I've seen pictures... it has a few flat tabs that snap into a metal body underneath.

I'll PM my address info. When you are ready just give me the amount and I'll paypal it to you.

pop the mirror glass out then undo the 4 screws that hold the front section on, that should allow you to get to the tabs that hold it from the back. if you just pull it off you'll break the tabs

OK, cool. Already have the glass out and remember seeing the screws...

hey, I can't seem to figure out how to send a private message to you through this site.

Need 5 posts IIRC...

I got it apart, was 5 screws and some cursing... post your zip and I can get a shipping price.

Wow, 101 different zips for LA....

looks like about 6-7 bucks for shipping priority mail, which I prefer.

Sorry to hear it was a pain in the arse to get off. Thanks for doing it.

I sent a PM with my address. I'm about to paypal the funds.

Please include the screws!

wasn't that big of a PITA, takes a little creativity and an extra set of hands would help out a lot.
