Product Description
2-Piece Chrome Mirror Covers with Turn Signal Cut Out: Traverse & Acadia (MC49166)
Do your Traverse or Acadia mirrors have a turn signal lamp in the housing? That's the question to answer first with MC49166, because its one catalog note reads: "Includes cut out for turn signal light." This is a pair of chrome covers with that opening already part of the design.
The fitment rows list the Chevrolet Traverse from 2009 to 2017 and the GMC Acadia from 2007 to 2016, each tagged 4-door SUV. The title names both crossovers without any years, so rely on those rows.
Two sets for the same crossovers
The catalog offers a second mirror cover set for exactly the same vehicles. MC49165 is a 4-piece kit described as a full, hybrid kit that includes a removable piece that accommodates the cut out for the turn signal light upon assembly when applicable. MC49166, this page, is the simpler 2-piece set with the cut out listed outright.
The record doesn't spell out how the coverage of the two sets compares, and no dimensions are listed for either one. The best way to choose is to look at both sets of photos next to your own mirrors. If you're still torn, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811.
Build and mounting
For the Traverse or Acadia, both covers are molded ABS plastic, chrome plated, polished and imported, and mount with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape with no screws, clips or brackets. QAA says the tape will hold for a lifetime without harming the Traverse's surface.
Year ranges worth a second look
The two nameplates have different windows. Acadia owners are covered from 2007, two years before the Traverse row begins, but the Acadia row stops at 2016. The Traverse row continues through 2017. If you own one of the edge years, check that your own nameplate's row includes it. Check your model year against the rows. Prep for the Traverse and Acadia is on the Installation tab.
How the fitting goes
Start with the housings themselves. Any chips, cracks or loose paint should be dealt with before tape goes on, because the bond is only as good as the surface underneath. Wash, dry and wipe each housing with rubbing alcohol.
Next, offer each cover up to its mirror by hand and check how it sits. The turn signal opening is the easiest reference point: line it up with the lamp, then check the outer edges. Mark the spot with painter's tape and press the cover home, working around the edges with firm pressure. The second Traverse cover follows.
Full instructions and the tape's working temperature are on the Installation tab. Pick a dry day and keep the vehicle out of rain and the first wash until the bond settles.
Keeping the shine
Mild soap, water and a soft cloth are all the chrome needs. Avoid abrasive pads, polishing compounds and harsh chemicals, which can scratch or cloud the plating.

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.
