Product Description
Nissan Altima 2013-2018 Chrome Mirror Cover Set (MC13550)
MC13550 is a two-piece chrome Mirror Cover Set for the Nissan Altima 4-door sedan, model years 2013 through 2018. One row, six years, no exclusions. The record carries no notes at all, which means it doesn't say whether the covers include a turn signal cut out, what portion of the housing they cover, or their dimensions. Those are the questions to settle before you order, and the product photos are where the answers are.
What to check in the photos
Put the images next to your Altima's mirrors and look at three things. How much of the housing does each cover take up? Is there an opening anywhere, and if your mirrors have a turn signal lamp, would the cover leave it visible? And do the shapes look like your mirrors? If any of those answers is unclear, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 with the SKU. A short conversation before buying is better than a surprise at install time.
Material
The covers are molded ABS plastic with polished chrome plating and are imported. Plating is a thin bright layer, so it needs gentle care: mild soap, water and a soft cloth, with no abrasive pads, polishing compounds or harsh chemicals.
Mounting
They attach with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing any damage to the surface of the vehicle. How the covers seat on the housing isn't described in the catalog, so the photos are your guide there too.
Installing
Begin by inspecting the mirror housings. Chipped paint or peeling clear coat should be repaired before any tape goes on, since the adhesive grips that finish. Wash the housings, let them dry completely and wipe with rubbing alcohol. Hold a cover in place by hand and compare it with the photos from the front and from the side. When it matches, mark it with small strips of painter's tape. Align and press firmly along all the edges, then repeat on the other mirror and check that the two covers match. The Installation tab gives the order of steps and the temperature range the tape needs. Work on a dry, mild day, and let the covers settle before the first wash.
Other Altima parts
Six are linked for the same sedan. GC13550 is a one-piece Gas Door Cover Trim. PP13550, PP13551 and PP13552 are Pillar Post Trim kits with four, six and eight pieces. RD13550 is a one-piece Rear Deck Accent at 1.375", sold separately on its own listing. TH13550 is a four-piece lower rocker kit at 1.5", noted as on the doors only and spanning from the bottom of the door up. Each listing gives its own material and mounting, so compare finishes if you want a consistent look.
These are for 2013 to 2018 Altimas. Mention MC13550 when you call 877-752-3811.
With two covers and no hardware, the job is short; most of the time goes into cleaning the housings and the dry fit.

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.
