    Subbed, my mirrors often get whacked on the trail.

    May not be the answer you are looking for, but I got a new side mirror cover in Inferno for ~50 dollars form the dealership.

    Thanks, everything comes out great until I get to the backside that is closest to the cab. Need to keep practicing I guess, lol.

    I tried it and the same thing happened. Got frustrated and peeled it off. Told the mirror to screw itself.

    Doesn't look like you're not using any type of heat, should use a hairdryer and stretch it over for that part where it curves. If I'm not lazy this weekend I'll give it a try.

    Also it would be way easier if you took the cover off the truck.
