AutoTecknic Carbon Fiber Mirror Covers
Ordered a pair of mirror covers....received them pretty quick. Went to install them and the left hand mirror cover would not snap on. Something was definitely off because my oem one clicked in no problem. Contacted them and I got a replacement left cover however it STILL does not fit. To make sure this wasn't a user error I even took it to my local bmw to install and they agreed that the mold was off and could not be correctly installed.
Currently waiting to return the items. |

I had the same problem but the replacement set I received did fit. the driver side is not perfect but still snapped in easily. passenger side fits great.
on the first set the driver one was clearly off. |

Installing, I inserted bottom tabs first and then moved to the top. Btw - I bought mine from Creative Motoring. |

Same problem persisted and I even took them to my local BMW and they even said the tabs are definitely off. |

It is not user error. There is a certain percentage of caps that simply don't fit correctly and never will. You were the unlucky one this time. Send them back and ask for replacements or your money back.

Here's a video from Autotecknic on a DIY install.
I personally have them myself and installed both sides in less than 5 mins. Zero issues on my end.
