Product Description
Traverse and Acadia 4-Piece Hybrid Mirror Cover Kit (MC49165)
This is the 4-piece version of the chrome mirror cover set for two GM crossovers that share a sheet in the catalog: the Chevrolet Traverse, listed 2009 through 2017, and the GMC Acadia, listed 2007 through 2016. Both rows are tagged 4-door SUV.
What "hybrid kit" means on this listing
The catalog describes MC49165 as a full, hybrid kit. In its own words, it "includes a removable piece that accommodates the cut out for the turn signal light upon assembly when applicable." The record does not explain when that piece applies, it does not break down which of the four pieces does what, and it gives no measurements, so the product photos are the place to see how the parts go together.
The removable piece is what sets this kit apart from its sibling. MC49166 is the 2-piece set for the same two vehicles, and its note says it includes a cut out for the turn signal light. If you already know your mirrors have the lamp, both listings are worth comparing in the photos. If you aren't sure what your housings have, take a photo of a mirror and call 877-752-3811 before choosing between the two.
MC49166 is also the only other part this sheet links to the Traverse and Acadia. No pillar, handle or window trim is cross-listed here, so if you want more chrome for either crossover, search by your vehicle or call and ask.
Material and mounting
The covers are ABS plastic with a polished chrome plating, imported. They attach with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape; no screws or clips are listed. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing any damage to the surface of the vehicle.
Check the years against your badge
The two rows don't line up exactly. The Acadia list begins earlier, in 2007, and ends in 2016. The Traverse list starts in 2009 and runs a year longer, to 2017. A 2017 Acadia or a 2007 or 2008 Traverse falls outside its own row, so the set isn't listed for those vehicles.
Assembly and fitting
Lay out all four pieces next to the photos before you clean anything, and decide whether your mirrors need the removable piece. Then prepare the housings: repair any chipped paint, wash with soap and water, dry them, and wipe with rubbing alcohol.
Dry-fit each cover and look at it from the front and the side. Mark the position with painter's tape, set the cover on the marks and press firmly along the edges. Work on one cover at a time and compare them when you're done.
See the Installation tab for full steps and the tape's temperature range. Fit on a dry, mild day, and let the bond settle before rain or the first wash.
For the Traverse or Acadia covers, use mild soap, water and a soft cloth. Harsh chemicals and abrasive pads can scratch the chrome plating.

Installation tips: Mirror Cover Set
- Unpack all 4 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.
