Powerfold vs non powerfold mirror caps
Hey guys, I don't know if this topic has a thread already, but I couldn't find one so, here we go.
I have a 2010 r55 s and was looking at getting some mirror caps from a member on here. Problem is, I have the powerfold mirrors and the caps they're selling are for non powerfold mirrors. Does anyone know what the difference between the two is as far as fitment? Is it just a matter of not being able to use the powerfold with non-powerfold caps or is there any modification that can be done to make them fit?
Thanks in advance!

I don't think that is correct. Everyone lists powered and non-powered separately for a reason and you can use www.realoem.com to check the part numbers are different. I had a 2011 MCS and the power mirror caps (carbon) I bought did not fit my non-powered mirrors.
I hope this helps cause I'd hate for you to buy a hassle.

According to this, the different part numbers is for the material or color. Nothing about being power fold or not.
I could be wrong!

Check out the interior shots. There is a tab near the mounting arm opening that is angled differently (if nothing else)
