Help please.Can't seem to get the wing mirror cover caps off.
Try as I might they don't seem to want to budge as I try to prise them off with a small flat bladed screw driver.
All they seem to want to do is stay in place and get scratched.
Really need to get them off to respray them as I've got some left over spray paint from the rear parking sensors.NEED THEM OFF GUYS.They really need colour coding to the car.
Can't stand that matt silvery colour they come in.

I got 2 plastic kitchen spatula's. used 1 to lever under the outside lower edge of the mirror then the 2nd wedged under it and slowly ran it in along the length of the cover towards the door. It took a few goes to achieve but it worked. You need to be firm with it, but not too much
