CHROME STRIP ON H2 MIRROR REMOVAL?
Dose anyone know if the strip can be removed from the mirror? I was thinking of having it Line-X'ed (for a blacked out look). It looks like there are some philip head screws behind the mirror glass but they might only be accessible before the mirror glass was epoxied in? Can the mirror be disassembled, dose it need to be removed from the truck first? I can't believe nobody makes an over lay kit.

Re: CHROME STRIP ON H2 MIRROR REMOVAL?
Me too! The whole fromt of my mirrors is like a chrome cap. I would like them to just be black. I am wondering if they come off, and if there are black ones for it, or would one have to paint/coat the chrome ones.

Re: CHROME STRIP ON H2 MIRROR REMOVAL?
Not sure how, but the chrome on my mirrors was painted over to match my flat black mirrors. I only know this because when it got scratched, I could see the chrome.  |

On the old style mirrors they make a black out overlay that can be purchased. |

Re: CHROME STRIP ON H2 MIRROR REMOVAL?
I can only offer advice here and I am not 100% sure. I changed the mirror glass in my 2005 mirrors to the Muth signal glass. Which I highly recommend. Anyway, in the 2005 mirrors the glass just clips to ring behind the mirror glass. It just pops off. The ring is on the motor assemly. Then the motor assembly is mounted with a coupled of screws. The outside back of the mirror is screwed from the inside. You could also download the instruction sheet to install the Muth glass for you year H2. That would give you the instructions to get the glass out.

Re: CHROME STRIP ON H2 MIRROR REMOVAL?
Yes but I believe that thread was for the old mirrors..I'm just wondering if the glass is held in the same way. I want to remove the small chrome strip on my '08 mirror so I can paint it.

Re: CHROME STRIP ON H2 MIRROR REMOVAL?
Thank you sir..that's all I needed! I've been looking this up and it seems like you've got a 50/50 shot on breaking something or not. And you can't replace the little parts :/ So I may just give in and tape the hell out of my truck and spray them.

Hit it with some spray bed liner and you won't have to worry about it again.
