Product Description
Snap-On Top-Half Mirror Covers for Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain (MC50161)
Not every mirror cover goes on with tape. The catalog note on MC50161 reads "Top Half only, Snap on replacement," which marks it as the snap-on version of the top-half chrome mirror covers for the Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain. There's no tape listed for this set.
Fitment
Two rows, identical in years: the Equinox from 2010 to 2017 and the Terrain from 2010 to 2017. Both are tagged 4-door, SUV, LS and LT. The LS and LT labels appear on the GMC row as well as the Chevrolet row, while the linked roof rack trim carries only the 4-door SUV tags. We've flagged that inconsistency. If your trim is something else, check with us before ordering.
Ordering the snap-on set
This page and its title both carry MC50161, the snap-on set. MC50160 is the tape-on twin for the same SUVs. When you order or call, quote MC50161 with UPC 840251601690 so the snap-on covers are the ones that ship.
Snap-on versus tape-on
Both MC50160 and MC50161 are two-piece, chrome-plated sets that cover the top half of each mirror for the same vehicles. The catalog lists MC50160 with 3M acrylic foam tape and MC50161 as a snap on replacement. It doesn't describe how the snap-on version attaches beyond those words, or what, if anything, it replaces on the housing. The photos are the best reference, and Quality Automotive Trims can answer questions at 877-752-3811.
Because no adhesive is involved, the tape steps you'd see on other mirror cover pages don't apply here. Follow the photos and the Installation tab, and call if anything about the fit is unclear before you apply pressure.
Construction
- Comes as a set of two
- ABS plastic with a polished chrome plating
- Imported
- Top half only
Roof rack trim on the same sheet
The sheet also links RR50160, a 2-piece Roof Rack Trim. Its note says to use adhesive primer, that it adheres to the existing factory roof rack, and that you must have the factory roof rack to use it. Those conditions apply to the roof rack trim only. It's sold separately.
Before you start
Clean the mirror housings with soap and water and let them dry so you can see the surface clearly. Look closely at the photos to understand how the covers seat, then test the position of each piece by hand before pressing it home. Work one cover at a time and compare them from the front of the vehicle when both are on.
Which set is right for you?
The choice is mostly about how you want the covers to attach. Some owners prefer to avoid adhesive altogether, and a snap-on set suits them. Others are happy with tape, and MC50160 is there for them. Both sets are listed for the same years and the same top-half coverage, so the photos and your own preference should decide.
Caring for the finish
Chrome plating stays bright with mild soap, water and a soft cloth. Abrasive pads and harsh chemicals can scratch or dull it.
