Product Description
Chevrolet Malibu 2008-2012 Chrome Mirror Cover Set (MC48105)
Two chrome covers for the outside mirrors of a 2008 to 2012 Chevrolet Malibu 4-door sedan: that's MC48105. The fitment table has a single row covering those five model years, and it doesn't exclude any trim. Every other detail on this set comes down to material and mounting, because the catalog record has no notes.
The covers are molded from ABS plastic and chrome plated, then polished. They're imported. They attach with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, and QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing any damage to the surface of the vehicle.
Because there are no notes, the listing doesn't tell you whether the covers include a turn signal cut out, how far they wrap around the housing, or what they measure. The photos are the best way to judge that. Hold them up against your own mirrors. If your Malibu has a lamp on the mirror housing, or the shape doesn't seem to match, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 with the SKU and your year before you order.
Ten other Malibu parts are linked for the same years and body. Listed by name are a 1-piece Gas Door Cover Trim (GC48105), 4- and 6-piece Pillar Post Trim kits (PP48105, PP48106), a 1-piece Rear Deck Accent (RD48105) and three Rocker Panel Trim kits: TH48105 (4 pieces, installs below the door), TH48106 (8 pieces, lower kit) and TH48107 (4 pieces, installs below the door). The catalog marks TH48106 and TH48107 as Base Model only. WQ48105, WQ48106 and WZ48105 round out the list. Check each part's own page for fitment details.
Installation begins with the mirror housings themselves. Look for chips, scuffs or loose clear coat and fix them first, since the tape can only hold as well as the surface beneath it. Wash the housings with soap and water, let them dry completely, and wipe them with rubbing alcohol.
Dry fit the first cover by hand on its mirror. Line it up with the photos and look at it from in front of the car and from the side. When the position is right, mark it with short strips of painter's tape, set the cover on the marks and press firmly along every edge. The second cover goes on the same way. Afterward, stand back and compare both. The Installation tab spells out the steps and the temperature range the tape needs. Choose a dry, mild day and give the adhesive some time before rain or the first wash.
For care, use mild soap, water and a soft cloth. Abrasive pads, polishing compounds and harsh chemicals can scratch or dull chrome plating, so leave them out. Handling the covers by their edges during fitting keeps fingerprints off the finish.
Check your records to confirm the year. Mention MC48105 when you call 877-752-3811.
If you're unsure which year you have, call before ordering. Go through the MC48105 photos before starting. Chevrolet rows, as cataloged, are on the Fitment tab.

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.
