    Hi Guys,

    I've seen a couple of videos on how the F56 mirror caps are just yanked off. Is it the same for the SEs angular design caps? Any videos on these cap removal?

    Yes. Tape up the edges just to be safe, and use some tape to make a loose tether between the body and the cap (I stuck one end to the mirror glass itself), just in case it pops off quickly and you lose your grasp of it (it can happen, ask me how I know :confused:).

    Yup they more or less just yank off with properly applied force/grip. They can be stolen just as much as the belt line trim...

    Well, I just could not yank it off. Had to resort to tape and a screwdriver, but did manage to get them off without damage.
