Anyone know how to pop off the mirror caps?

Hey guys
I wanna vinyl wrap my mirror caps but I'm worried about damaging the caps, anyone done replacements or anything like that and know how to take them off properly? Also would love to know the same about the front grill/chrome pieces if anyone knows.

Any advice on removing the glass mirrors without breaking? the KIA GIS says insert screw driver and apply momentary / impact force but I have not been able to - they are really in there... I wanted to remove the mirror glass portion to be able to access the screws to swap out the chrome covers.

It's very easy. But don't use a screwdriver!! Step 1, get yourself some plastic autobody tools off Ebay/Amazon. If you are by chance in the Vancouver area I will help you. Cheers

Thanks but I managed. It was not bad at all once you get past the fear of breaking the mirror. I simply inserted the handle of a sturdy butter knife wrapped in a cloth about near the middle / centre of the back of the mirror and 1 push, 2 push 3 - she was out. Each push was incrementally with a little more force. Thankfully all went well.
