Product Description
Chrome Mirror Cover Set, Bottom Half Only, for 2007-2014 GM Trucks and SUVs (MC47197)
"Bottom Half only" is the note that defines MC47197. It's a two-piece chrome Mirror Cover Set for the lower part of each mirror, and it sits in a trio of linked sets for the same GM vehicles: MC47195 is noted "Top Half only," and MC47196 has no coverage note but a listing bullet that says "Full." If you want chrome on the lower portion of the mirrors and the upper portion left alone, this is the set whose note matches. Whether the top and bottom sets are designed to be fitted together isn't stated anywhere in the catalog, so if that's your plan, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 first.
Which vehicles? Seven, named in the title and in the Fitment tab. The Escalade, Tahoe, Suburban and Yukon rows run from 2007 through 2014. The Silverado, Avalanche and Sierra rows run from 2007 through 2013. Each row has the same combined body list, 4-door, SUV, Pickup Truck and 2-door, regardless of model. That doesn't tell us which cab or body versions are intended, and we've flagged the tags.
What to look for in the photos: where the chrome begins and ends on the lower housing, and whether anything there, such as a lamp, would be covered. The record doesn't mention a turn signal cut out and gives no dimensions. Seven models share one set, so compare the photos with your own mirrors rather than assuming they match.
For the listed GM trucks and SUVs, these are molded ABS covers, chrome plated, polished and imported, mounted with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. Per QAA, that tape will hold for a lifetime without harming the vehicle's surface.
Give the lower housings a thorough clean before you start. Repair any chips or peeling finish first, since the tape bonds to it. Wash with soap and water, dry completely and wipe with rubbing alcohol to remove wax and film. Then hold a cover in place by hand. With a bottom-half cover, the upper edge is the line people see, so check that it sits level and where the photos show it, from the front of the vehicle and from the side. Mark it with small pieces of painter's tape, then align it and press firmly along every edge until it is seated. Do the other mirror and compare the two. The Installation tab gives the steps and the temperature range; a dry, mild day suits the job.
Keep the chrome bright with mild soap, water and a soft cloth, and leave abrasive pads and harsh chemicals out of it.
Check the MC47197 rows for your exact model and year. Two covers and no hardware make for a short job. Mention MC47197 when you call 877-752-3811, and mention MC47195 too if you're considering the pair.
Chrome-plated plastic shows fingerprints, so handle each cover by its edges while lining it up, and give both a final wipe with a soft cloth once they're on.

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.
