Product Description
Equinox & Terrain Top-Half Chrome Mirror Covers, Tape-On (MC50160)
MC50160 is a pair of chrome covers for the upper portion of the outside mirrors on two related crossovers: the Chevrolet Equinox and the GMC Terrain, each listed from 2010 through 2017. The note on the set is "Top Half only," so the lower part of each housing stays as it is.
Both fitment rows carry the same tags: 4-door, SUV, LS and LT. LS and LT read as trim labels, and the catalog puts them on the Terrain row as well as the Equinox row. The linked roof rack trim for the same vehicles carries only the 4-door SUV tags, so the trim labels aren't applied consistently across the sheet. We've flagged that for review. If your vehicle's trim isn't LS or LT, call before ordering rather than guessing.
Tape-on or snap-on: the two versions
This sheet links a twin, MC50161, which is also a 2-piece top-half set for the same vehicles and years. The difference the catalog states is mounting. MC50161 is noted as a "Snap on replacement." MC50160, this page, mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing any damage to the surface of the vehicle.
The record gives no dimensions for either one and doesn't otherwise compare them. Look at both sets of photos and decide which style suits you. If you'd like to talk it through, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811.
Material
The covers are ABS plastic, chrome plated and polished, and imported. They come as two pieces, and the record lists no hardware. Both covers are chrome.
Also linked: roof rack trim
RR50160, a 2-piece Roof Rack Trim, is the other part on this sheet. Read its own note before fitting it: adhesive primer is called for, it adheres to the existing factory roof rack, and the factory roof rack has to be on the vehicle to use it. That restriction belongs to the roof rack trim, not to these mirror covers.
Fitting the tape-on covers
Since these sit on the upper half of the housing, the line where chrome stops is what draws the eye. Aim for an even, level edge on both covers.
Repair any chips on the housings. Wash with soap and water, dry, and wipe with rubbing alcohol. Set the cover against the top of the mirror by hand and check its lower edge from the front and side. Mark the position with painter's tape, press the cover onto the marks and work firmly along every edge so the tape bonds. Fit the second cover and compare the two edges.
The Installation tab has the tape's temperature range and the full steps. Fit on a dry, mild day and keep the vehicle out of rain and the first wash for a while.
Care
Mild soap, water and a soft cloth keep chrome clean. Abrasive pads, polishing compounds and harsh chemicals can scratch it.

Installation tips: Mirror Cover Set
- Unpack all 2 pieces and match each one to its position on the vehicle, using the product photos, before fitting any of them.
- Each piece mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, so clean and dry the mounting surface first; the tape needs paint or trim free of dirt and wax.
- Align the piece and press it firmly into place, working along its full length so the tape bonds evenly.
- Fit one piece at a time and compare each with the product photos and the pieces already in place.
These are general tips. Follow any instructions packed with your kit if they differ.
