Mirror Cap fitment issue, any identical replacement?

[Benjilis]

I bought these mirror caps off Ali Express and when I had a shop install them yesterday, there were fitment issues that resulted in a few millimeters of spacing and resulted in clips breaking.

I put in a complaint for a refund or replacement today Hoping mine was just a bad one in the bunch?

It could just be a poor product so I’m looking for the same style and carbon print as this one. Thanks!

Dude, you continue to amaze me. This time, you had a shop install mirror caps. Doing it yourself would literally have taken less time than going to the shop and back twice.

Replacing the mirrors is easy once you watch a youtube video.
I bought red ones and I have the OEM CF ones.... I'll switch them out depending on my mood.
The girl says I use them swatch watches, if you're old like me

But that said, the cost of a knock off + install is probably more than the OEM with perfect fitment. Painter tape, pry tool kit. Good luck!

I've had 2 sets from Aliexpress and they were both perfect...I suspect a bad installer!

No shit. I know how to do it but I took it there to get other shit done and I figured something like this would happen so it made sense

Link? And why 2 sets?
I even got the car back and tried myself and had the same fitment issues. I tried multiple times with different angles.
the long clips also don’t go fully in.
so I’m looking for something better than these.
these will go in the trash

Got a set of the M style and didn't like the obstruction of view from the horn shape.....so I sold them and got a stock style and were much happier with them...
