I can share my vendor once I install them,but I don’t want other people buying them before I test them myself. That’s why I haven’t posted it yet.

Can you check these out and let me know if they appear they will fit?

I am looking for gloss black ones.

The tips look closed off to me. Which means those are G20 caps

[MPR]

They look open, assuming we are talking about the little wing piece

It’s impossible to tell from the outside. They all look correct from the outside,you need inside pictures of the caps to confirm the tip(pointy) part is open. Same as the picture I posted with the arrow

Thank you for taking the minute to look and providing the explanation with pictures in this post.

What I thought matters is if the winged piece piece has an opening that faces the side window, where it would attach to the mirror housing. As it is in my pics.

This one for example is solid, while the ones I posted are open. I thought the below was the type you are saying we need to avoid.

I see what you mean,but that’s not what’s needed to fit. Essentially the inside of the cap needs to be the same shape as the outside of the cap. If that makes sense? the G20 caps don’t fit due to the wing part not being open or the same shape on both sides.

The part I circled is what needs to be open and the same shape as the rest of the mirror. These only fit the G20 which is what 90% of them are selling.

Ok so I think my missing piece was the same shape attribute.

Yessss sirrrrr,That’s correct! Just ask the vendors for inside pics of the caps

AliExpress?

And are you sure about the wing part needing to be flat? AutoID's version is like the AliExpress one I posted pictures of

Yes AE - I’m 1000% correct lol - The AutoID ones are open/correct and not the same as the ones you sent. More picture time? 🤣

First picture is AutoID(These are correct)
Next 2 are the ones you sent(incorrect)

You really can’t see the difference? You are starting to scare me lol

[MPR]

Dude you act like it is clear as day, they literally look the same to me. Maybe it's from each being at a different angle/perspective. The first and last image in the post immediately above look the same to me. Please no passive aggressive insults, we are all trying to just get the correct part here.

Taking a second look, is it the base of the cap that needs to be flat, not slightly curved in? I was only concentrating on the little M wing.

It is clear as day. I literally circled and edited 15 pictures showing you the differences and you are still trying to figure it out. Order whatever you think is correct brother. I’m mirror capped out…. #Tappingout 🤣👍🏻

[MPR]

Thanks chief, I'll aim for finding ones like AutoID.

[Ranged]

I own a G20 and clearly see the difference. It is clear as day like value said lol. Not to mention we looked at mine and can spot the difference on the car. Don't waste your money on the wrong ones lol.

[MPR]

2 entirely different things are circled in red, both containing the M wing which appears the same in both.

What is clear as day is this part which is curved, marked in green.

AutoID followed by AliExpress
