I bought black mirror caps to replace the chrome ones that came on my truck. How does one remove the caps? Do you have to dissemble the entire mirror? Also, if anyone is looking for chrome caps, I'll sell mine.

Best way I got mine was push the little tabs along the top down and then push the cap off a little at a time. Or you can take the mirror apart I did it both ways neither is really easy. Just push or pull it straight back don't do it at a angle. Or you will Break the tabs on the bottom of it.
Here is a pic of the mirror apart it wasn't fun.

So basically just loosen up the top tabs and push the cap towards the front of the truck to remove it?

Yep just nice steady pressure don't jerk or yank it. It will pop off just work with it a little.

Are these mirrors similar to the previous years, as in if you have just the plain textured top you can't remove them? I'm looking at a truck that has just the textured top and I would like to replace them if possible with a ptm version. Thanks

Bringing this one back to life. Do you have the part numbers for the black mirror caps? I'd like to change out my chrome ones on the Platinum.

They don’t come painted have to buy ptm and get them painted. Can’t help you with part number. Try sunrise ford they are a sponsor here and have killer deals.
