Ok..the mirror covers..i have taken them off. If you look at the end which is nearest the car, there is a clip which you have to press to release the cover.To do this you have to push the mirror in towards the car.then all around inside there are clips which you gently pull the cover off..be warned though as there is one big one in the middle which you cant see.they are sturdy and you just have to work your way round.takes a few mins .
