Description
Interior rearview mirror for Citroën & Peugeot vehicles. Original PSA interior mirror with codes 8149CL / 8149G1 (PSA, NFP – no further production). This is a used original item designed for mounting to the windshield on a standard “button” holder. Ideal for workshops and DIY repairs when you need a quick replacement while preserving the factory interior appearance.
Features & Benefits
The mirror provides clear rear visibility and typically includes a manual day/night (anti-dazzle) flip function and a ball joint for precise positioning. Compared with many aftermarket alternatives, the OEM unit usually offers a more accurate fit to the button pad and a firmer joint, helping the mirror hold its set position under normal driving conditions.
Applications And Compatibility
Commonly fitted to Citroën C8, Citroën Xsara, Citroën Xsara Picasso and Peugeot 807 models. Always verify compatibility by comparing the part numbers (8149CL, 8149G1) with the existing mirror or by checking the vehicle VIN to ensure a correct match.
When To Replace
- Excessive play in the ball joint or mirror that droops or changes position while driving.
- Damaged mirror surface (black spots or delamination) affecting rear visibility.
- Cracked or missing mirror base/plate, or a detached metal “button” on the windshield.
Common Causes Of Failure
- Long-term vibration and mechanical wear on the ball joint.
- Repeated temperature cycling causing adhesive failures or mirror coating degradation.
- Mechanical damage during windscreen cleaning, repairs, or vehicle moves.
Installation
Installation is usually straightforward and can be completed in a few minutes by a trained mechanic or a competent DIYer. Typical procedure:
- Remove any plastic trim cover at the mirror base if present.
- Release the old mirror by pulling or sliding it off the button-style bracket according to the shape of the pad (usually upward or to the side).
- Push the replacement mirror onto the metal button on the glass until it clicks into place and the joint seats securely.
- If the metal button on the windshield has detached, re-bond it first using a specialist windshield adhesive and allow full cure time per the adhesive manufacturer’s instructions before mounting the mirror.
Work carefully to avoid concentrated pressure on the windscreen and ensure all seating surfaces are clean to achieve a solid mount.
