where can I find a crown for my 2022 Chrysler Pacifica
I would search eBay first then call the dealership. If they dealer sells it then you will know that the crown alone is available and you can continue your online search of the dealership wants too much money.
Finally...a quick, easy and THOROUGH how-to video! This is how it's done. Thank you!
Glad to hear that video was helpful. I appreciate you taking the time to post the feedback about the mirror cover video.
@@RANDOMFIX I rarely comment and subscribe but I'm very impressed. Hopefully next time I need to fix something, you'll have a video for me!
I’ve been watching CZcams videos for like a decade and I’ve never seen a 360 video here. Pretty neat thanks!
Thank you for the feedback about the 360 video. I will try shooting another 360 video in the future. I shot this 360 because I wanted people to know it not just hype as lots of CZcamsrs are making up bs and damaging people’s vehicles with fake videos that have zero chance of working in the real world.
@@RANDOMFIX I *love* the 360 but I wish you would have shown the mirror side as well so we could see what you were prying against. Thank you for making the video.
Noted, next time I get a chance I will try to capture that also.
Broooo you are not filming nothing. You should've been a radio man in a previous life or you are tottaly dump😂😂😂
Accidentally dinged my mirror cover backing out of my garage because someone in my household parked the passenger side too close to the door. The cover was cracked and I had to get a replacement part, but at least I learned a new thing on how to install/reinstall one of these covers.
Glad to help with the video and just take your time when changing the cover.
Same
You instructions were clear, concise, and the job took mere minutes to swap the crowns. Thank you!.
Glad it helped! I appreciate you the taking the time post your experience with removing the old crown.
Thank you so very much! I hit a recycling bin and didn’t realize the cap had popped off. I went to Honda and the service guy said there were no broken clips, but they would charge $150 labor! So I ordered the cap-which was expensive enough-brought it home, and looked for a video. Believe me, I like it!
I also ordered the glass, but I can see perfectly well with it broken, so I am saving that until it falls apart, or I decide to sell the car. I find that mirror way too easy to hit...
Thank you so much for great feedback. Much appreciated
This happens to me today I hit a recycling trash bin on the street🥲
Perfect. Exactly what I needed. Thanks, man!
I appreciate your constructive comments, thank you for the feedback John!
thank you for posting this
Glad to help
Great video thanks mate. I'm pleased you can replace this way without taking the mirror and screws out.
Regards
Iaan from London 🇬🇧
Ian, I'm glad the video was helpful.
Thanks for the video. Great job explaining how to do it 👍
Thanks you for letting me. Much appreciated ☺️
Thank you so much! This would have cost me hundreds to have someone fix. Instead I was able to put a slightly cracked one on (you can’t even see the crack. You saved me time and money!
Thank you Adrienne for your feedback, much apprecated 🌹
Geez, it looks so easy. I need to replace my 2103 ES Lexus cover and will give it a shot. I have the part I just need to give it a try. Thanks for the guidance.
You can do it!
Thank you for posting this video.
You're welcome
Thank You!
I bumped my brand new 2020 right side mirror and the base broke.
Called car dealership and it was 790$
Order the same piece, use the same painted cover and my cost was 200$
Big difference! Thank you for this video and I wasn’t sure how to remove the cover! :)
Glad to help and hear that you saved $590. Congrats
Excellent video. Exactly what I was looking for.

Johnathan, thank you for great a about the 360 camera. Much appreciated. I need to shoot more videos with the 360 can going forward. Happy New year 🎉🎉🎉
That’s amazing
I can move the camera like I’m there… WOW …
Hey thanks a lot for the video
You’ve been a huge help.
Sorry for the late reply, I appreciate your feedback 🤞😎
360 camera is such a good idea! Good job, broham!
I appreciate your constructive comments, thank you for the feedback!
Bro thank you. ❤ dope 360 degree video 👊
thank you for the feedback !
Thank you so much
You're most welcome
Hey, you did a really nice job in teaching this. I think I'll try removing the cover on my wife's car tomorrow. The dealer wanted $70 for the cover and $50 to swap it out. Ours has a pressure crack because she hit a trash can. Duh. It has a buckle in it but It might be repairable, if I can release the tension. Btw, if something really hot was parked next to your vehicle, that could have caused it to deform, ie: melt. Thanks again.
Dave, tthanks for the feedback. It's a easy swap and will only take you 5 minutes but don't force it and only use plastic tools like trim removal tools.
@@RANDOMFIX I fixed mine today. A few things to note: that plastic is rather flexible and if you feel for the fasteners you can shift the mating pieces by squeezing the plastic in different directions and sometimes even hear a pop when it releases. When that happens, you want to put a shim in there to keep it separated. Also, you can pull the mirror first and that way you can release the hooks on the fasteners from the inside. The mirror has 4 wrap around type connectors that pop off with a little bit of prying. You will feel them pop free. Adjust the mirror so you can peek inside to see the white plastic mounting plate. The attachments are at the 4 corners, Upper left, lower right, etc. As the vehicle gets older, the plastic will get brittle, and I doubt the dealerships will tell you when they are broken, and just reassemble it with less connections, or they will force you to purchase the entire unit, which is still unnecessary. Thank you once again for making the effort to record and post your work for others to learn. I wish I was as gifted in that area.
Wow Dave, I wish I could write like you and the way you made it clear is amazing. Thank you so much sharing I hope our information can save someone else a few dollars and time again, thank you!!
@@RANDOMFIX It's all about helping others. Thanks again for taking that first step.
Thanks!
Glad to help.
Good video. Good for you.
Thanks!
Thanks, bro I need it to watch this video.
Glad to help and thank you for the feedback. Just take you time so your don't break any clips.
I have a 2017 Prius Prime and purchased the missing chrome piece between the top and bottom of the passenger side mirror. How do you Install it? Looks like it snaps in, but should I start at the wider side or the narrower? Don’t want to try and force only to have it snap. Thx
Look at the part and it that might help. Just take your time don't force it.
I had the same wierd view at first . You have to update your browser to view this videao as intended . Once i updated Chrome the video plays flawlessly and you can move the scene around 360. good luck. Thank you for the video my man.
Thank you for the feedback. This was my first 360 video. I just wanted the replace the cover so I thought why not just record it not knowing it might a little weird in 360, lol.
THAT CAMERA IS SO COOL!!
Thank you for the feedback!
Cool video!
Thank you so much
Great video! Easy to understand. I don’t know where you got your mirror cover because I’ve been looking day and night for a right side cover for a 2002 Honda Accord SE four door sedan and can’t find a thing. Only the whole mirror assembly I don’t need. Maybe they don’t make just the cover for the mirror. I don’t have the part number either. Thanks for the video and looking forward to seeing more.
eBay is where I got the cover for the for mirror. Search * honda accord aide view mirror cover" and the also call it a side view trim cap. Good luck and let me know who's it goes. I got my painted directly on ebay but you can get paint in a can for $17 or so that is exact color. Let me know once you find your part.
Good video. I need to replace the door mirror casing and glass from the damaged one to a second hand unit. It’s a Modus 2010. Any help appreciated.
Thank you for your feedback Nigel, much apprecated!
Can I do this on my 2020 GMC Terrain? Im trying to replace the white cover into black. Thanks
Possibly, compare the covers and see if you access the clips.
Will this work for 2019 Camry??? I know you can get the mirror covers and just place on top of the existing covers which is held on by 3m tape, but don’t know how secure that will be or have a flush look. Thanks
Shon, if youe plastic mirror cover is broken and you take your time with a plastic trim piece all you to loose is 3 minutes if doesn't. But it could save hours. Just look at the new replacement part and if its just clipped, you have a greater degree of success
@@RANDOMFIX thanks for the quick response!
Glad to help
If you want to also replace the bottom pice, does it require the mirror to come off the car?
You asked about what might have melted your mirror. If you parked next to a building with reflective glass during the day, the building can reflect and focus the sunlight, concentrating it like you would with a magnifying glass. You can feel this sometimes if you walk through a patch of light reflected from a building (that it feels warmer than it ought to). If that reflected light was shining on the side of your car, it could have partially melted the plastic on your mirror.
Hi Mark, I think you are right , after that video I was working on another car and my day I smelt my pants burning because the heat ( reflection) from window was right leg. Strange feeling
Nice do you know if a 2009 scion xb crowns are removable?
No sure please look at the new part, use plastic trim removers and take your time.
What about the bottom blinker portion… how do you instal that? Or what do you need to install it as far as tools go? Any help is greatly appreciated
If you have a blinker installed then it maybe a little more difficult. Is the blinker area cracked? Is there a replacement part? First find the part and that will point you in the right direction as far as your options.
I accidently popped off my cover when backing up. Glad to know I just need to push it in.
Cool. Good to hear.
I did the same.
How do you remove the cover to use on another mirror? This way will break all the tabs holding the cover in place.
Is there a separate piece for the lower portion of the mirror cover? The part with the silver chrome piece. I need to replace that part as well.
First find that part on eBay or call the dealer to see if the part is available. Once you have the new part in hand then you can know what are you options.
Hi, how can I temporarily cover the exposed wires due to losing the mirror cover? Should I wrap it with plastic bag?
a plastic bag would help.
Do you know what piece goes under the cap for corollas? Mine was stolen :(
Not sure, just search for mirror trim.
Did you accidentally turn your mirror defrost on during a hot day maybe and there are no vents for the hot air to escape? I heard of cars melting and catching on fire from the reflection off building windows.2021 Toyota RAV4
I don't know, maybe I could never figure out what in the heck that was. But it only happened one side?
That camera fire
Seriously I should of not used a 360 camera for it.
where can I order the parts , for the crown only
Thanks
is this altima 2019 model?
Can i buy cap only?
Do u know part number?
I don't know the part number did you search on eBay?
How about the bottom part . The top and the bottom pastic fell off from car wash . How can put back and be secured ?
You might have replace the how unit pending on the damage. Please inspect the clips on each piece.
Will this procedure work on a 2010 Honda Accord? Some videos I've seen remove the mirror first.
You should alway remove the mirror assembly but that’s a lot of work and some vehicles it requires removing the door panel. Look on eBay for a replacement part. If you can find the a replacement then there is a good chance your can just pop on the new cover.
I don’t what is damaged on your 2010 honda to give any more accurate information.
Good luck and let me know what happens.
@@RANDOMFIX While trying to avoid a stopped school bus when turning right on the street we live on, my wife hit a garbage bin with the passenger side mirror. It broke the housing but not the mirror and everything still works. I already have a replacement that I bought on ebay. The broken one should come off easily as it is no longer fully intact. I'm going to wait for some nicer weather before installing the new one but it should go as easily as it did for you. I appreciate your response and will let you know how it went after I install the new one.
Glad to help anytime. Take a look at the new replacement part to see where all the tabs are located so you don’t break anything.
T-H-A-N-K Y-O-U!!!!!!
Thank you for the feedback!
I got a new door mirror for my Sentra from a "body shop supplies" store. The part fits my vehicle. My intention was to swap the cover / skullcap for my old one, so that the color matches my car. It doesn't fit on there! I can't put it on in a way that it's flush and hard to remove. It slides off very easily. Why would this be?
Did you put in all the clips. Loop at the old part if you have it to see if you broke any clips.
Is it the same for a Rav4 2015?
The cover will be different but the idea is same. I was able to swap out the cover in under 5 minutes. Avoid force and don't use metal screw drivers. You can find plastic trim removers everywhere and I think there was a link in the video description.
My side mirrors melted as well…. we found out it’s the reflection of the sun off of the windows in the front of our home. We remedied the situation with a special film you can put on the windows to diffuse the light, by the way.
Thank you sharing about the special film to diffuse the light. Good tip.
Will this work for a 2015 Toyota Yaris?
Sorry for the late reply! did you find a solution?
Can you do this on a 2015 RDX?
Sure why not? For better results see if the crown is old separately and that way you can be extra sure. Keep me in the loop. Search on ebay or call the Acura dealer.
The driver’s side mirror on my 2019 RAV4 “melted” in the same way. I have no idea what could have caused it. Dealership refused to replace under warranty. Claimed it was somehow my fault.
Let me know if you ever figure it out. At my house around 10 am the sun shines so perfect off a window it can set a fire. That's my guess after working outside on camper van around that time And try to figure out my I was smelling a burning sense on my sweats. Lol crazy but maybe possible?
A stupid motorcycle knocked my RAV4 mirror cover off while passing between cars. Thanks for this video showing how easy to put the new one back.
Glad to help. Were you able find the exact part? Was it already painted?
Thanks, it would be nice if we could actually see it though. Lighting please.
It’s a 360 camera. Just move the phone or cursor on the screen.
MashaAllah
Thank you!
I’ve been trying for like an hour and can’t get the bottom clips out on either side 😢 all the other clips came out perfectly fine just can’t get those two
Sorry for the late response, we’re you able to get the bottom clips? What kind of vehicle are you working on?
can I order the cap on amazon? can you provide a link?
I had to get the cap from ebay, it came painted to make the car, took less than 5 minutes.
@@RANDOMFIX how long did it take to get to you?
5 to 7 days.
Very cool. But what kind of car is this?
2016 Toyota Prius
What is the name of the bottom part under the part your changing
The buttom was not changed but I would consider that chrome piece "passenger side mirror trim"
Where did you find the Cover @?
On ebay, it was already paint, brand new from toyota.
Where did you order the actual crown piece from? Because all I’m seeing is covers.
eBay
And it can painted as well. It took me a few minutes to find it.
Where did you order the cover from
eBay
Not too shabby
thanks
Where do I buy a cover? I just need that
From ebay.
if you are replacing the old cap anyway. What about hammering or dremelling it and remove it in pieces? Not all of them come off as easy as yours came off.
I have never hard to do that. Be very careful
what is the model of the car? Is it Honda Accord ? Year ?
Sorry for the late reply! did you find a solution?
Where to buy replacement covers
Sorry for the late reply, I appreciate your feedback
did you get this handled?
360 is trippy af lol
Yes I will not be using 360 for repair videos again but it did a 360 video of my diy camper van and it turned out much better. The mirror 360 video was my first 360 video
czcams.com/video/5T0LKWNY0aY/video.html
did you watch this video before you upload it? Because the camera was facing down and we didn't see what you were explaining.
Al, the camera is not down m, it’s a 360 so you can move it around
Thanks for attempting to show how to demonstrate this replacement, but your camera view was bad. Also, please remember to never shoot into the light of the sun because it will create darkness.
It's a 360 camera so you can move it on your pc or just move your phone. This was my first attempt shooting with that camera and I appreciate your feedback.
Thx now ik that there is no trick and simply got the wrong cover😭
Glad to help and I got you get the right cover next time.
That camera is god awful but the best video.what a waste
Thank you for the feedback and yes this was my first time using the 360 camera so the camera quality is a little poor.
I just broke my new cover when I tried to install a new one. F
Sorry to her that!!! What make and model were your working on? What went wrong? Thx
Would be cool if you showed what you were actually doing lol
It’s a 360 camera, I said in the beginning of the video, move your phone or your cursor. That’s why I recorded it in 360 so know it’s real! Thanks
Out of all the videos of this process on youtube where no one really explains how to do this. You explained it perfectly. But you ruined it with the 360 camera.
Thank you for the feedback and yeah the 360 camera was a pain to shot with.
That camera gave me total motion sickness and I couldn’t see the detail I needed! Good idea but a bit rough to watch!
Thank you for feedback
You know it is a 360 camera so you can adjust it anyway you like!
Can’t see anything, just black screen with Amazon ad and audio
Sorry for the late reply! did you find a solution?
Sorry, couldn't watch it all, the 360 camera was making me cross eyed.
Got it, thank you for your feedback. We're you watching on a phone or pc? This was first 369 video.
@@RANDOMFIX yea the 360 camera was a little much. Used a phone
Picture quality is poor.
Thank you for the feedback, the video was shot in 360 so it doesn’t come out as clear because it try to capture 360 degrees.
What's the point of the video when nothing can be seen
Sorry about the video, the video was shot with a 360 camera so please move your phone or browser.
Yea the 360 camera was not necessary
Thank you for your feedback, much apprecated!
Can’t see what you’re doing
It’s a 360 video, turn your phone
Can't see the install on your video lol.
Sorry it’s. 360 video so you can see the whole process but you need to rotate your phone or the turn in your browser.
@@RANDOMFIX Got it, I didn't know you could do a 360 video.
Clips will break every time, ridiculous design to use flimsy clips. At least on my car.
I hear you on that!!! What are you driving?
@@RANDOMFIX 2017 impala
Did you try and the clips broke or just forecasting?
@@RANDOMFIX already did the job. Broke most of the outer clips and one of the inner ones. The cover will stay on still but not quite as tight as it was before.
Wow, I sorry to hear that. And it's a 2017 so clips couldn't be too brittle. Thank you for the update
I could not see due to camera angle. Bad filming
Sorry it’s a 360 video, you need to move your phone or browser. It was my first time using the 360 camera. Thank you again for the feedback
Ok my bad I’m sorry. Just watched it again and wow that’s neat! Love the 360 video. I had no idea the first time I watched it 👍
Make, Model, Year? Not important I guess. It shows up in a Tiguan search. Doesn't look like one. Not going to watch the whole thing hoping that the secret somehow slips out. 30 seconds is enough time that I'll never get back
Sorry for the late reply! did you find a solution?
Dude learn to work your camera
Thanks for the feedback and I did mention is it’s a 360 camera in the intro
How in the hell are you supposed to be showing somebody how to remove it or put it back on and all we see is the floor in the top of your garage poor video
It’s a 360 video just move your phone or browser.
Tired of staring at your feet!WTF!
thank you for the feedback !
Thanks!
Thank you for your feedback, much apprecated!
Will this work on a Ford Fiesta 2013
