Hello all this is my first post. I recently had Retroshop smooth and paint my textured mirror caps to match the truck. I have a 2012 Ram Express in Mineral Grey Metallic. Here is how to remove the caps:
1. Move the mirror to point down as far as it will go so your fingers will fit between the top of the mirror and the plastic housing.
2. Use both hands and grab the top of the mirrors and firmly pull towards you until it pops loose.
3. Pull the top of the mirror towards you to release the bottom hooks then pull up to remove it. You don't have to disconnect any wires to remove the cover, just turn the mirror facing down and the housing will hold it.
4. Remove the three torx head screws, pull the plastic retainer towards the outside of the of the housing and the cover will come loose. You will have to move it around to get it completely off. I've attached some pics that will hopefully help out.
