Product Description
Chevrolet Malibu and Malibu Limited Chrome Mirror Covers (MC53105)
MC53105 is a two-piece chrome mirror cover set for the Chevrolet Malibu sedan. The record splits the fitment into two rows, and it's worth reading both:
- Chevrolet Malibu, 2013 through 2015, 4-door sedan, tagged Limited
- Chevrolet Malibu Limited, 2016 only, 4-door sedan, tagged Limited
The first row names the Malibu but carries a Limited tag as well, while the second row names the Malibu Limited outright for a single year. The catalog doesn't explain why the earlier row has the Limited tag, so we've flagged it. If you have a 2013, 2014 or 2015 Malibu and you're not sure whether that tag applies to your car, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 before ordering. The title gives no years at all.
What the set is
Two covers, one for each outside mirror, made of ABS plastic with a polished chrome plating and imported. They mount 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.
There are no notes about coverage or a turn signal cut out, and no dimensions. The product photos are the reference for shape.

Preparing the mirrors
Check both housings for chips or flaking paint and repair them before any tape goes on. Wash with soap and water, dry, and wipe with rubbing alcohol so wax doesn't weaken the bond.
Placement
Set the first cover on its mirror by hand. Look at it from the front of the Malibu and from your seat inside, and move it until the edges sit evenly. Mark the position with painter's tape. Line the cover up with the marks and press firmly around every edge. Do the second cover next and compare both from in front.
The Installation tab has the steps and the temperature range for the tape. A dry, mild day is best; keep the car out of rain and the first wash for a while.
To care for the chrome, use mild soap and a soft cloth. Abrasives and harsh chemicals can scratch the plating.
We can check MC53105 against your Malibu if you call 877-752-3811.

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.
