I haven't seen just the mirror cover anywhere. There is an entire mirror assy on ebay for around $30 and several good used visors complete with the mirror assy for around $75.

I just used an isopropyl alcohol-soaked paper towel to loosen my airbag warning stickers. They came off easily after a 10 minute soaking.

cover flaps
If you just need the mirrorcover flaps, make sure your cover hinge doesn't look busted, then use spinnaker's link to Suncoast to buy the nonlighted nonstickered european version of the mirror assembly. Warm it to about 130 & use steady firm pressure to flex the new flap in the middle thus pulling the hinge pins inward and allowing it to come free. Now snap it into your old mirror housing and wallah, new cover, no sticker, not too broke.

I have the same problem with the plastic visor mirror covers.
The plastic tabs broke off the cover flaps so they don't stay put anymore and fall off.
I'm thinking double sided tape and forget about using the visor mirrors, however if there is a reasonable fix then I'll fix them.
Can you buy just the plastic mirror covers?

My car`s tabs broke off some 3 years ago. Used 1/2 inch Velcro tape. The double sided tape use on computes to bundle cables. It`s thin and black so not too noticeable.
Used two and wrapped the lid to the visor.
