Part description

This right electric mirror Citroën C3 8149RW is intended for the passenger side and is ideal as a replacement after the original mirror is damaged. Thanks to the electrical control, it allows for convenient settings from the cabin, there is a heater for quick demisting/defrosting and an integrated temperature sensor. The 7 PIN (5+2) connector design is also an important guide for correct replacement.

Installation recommendations

Generally/typically for replacing an electric rearview mirror (exact steps may vary depending on the specific model of the car):

1) Before assembly

• Compare the new and original mirror: code 8149RW, side (right), connector type 7 PIN (5+2) and matching equipment (electric control, heater, temperature sensor).
• Check the condition of the connector and pins (bent pins, oxidation), the wiring grommet and the mechanical part (play, cracks, damage to the mount).
• If triangular inner cover/rails are included, check for undamaged mounts (a common source of post-installation squeals).

2) Necessary tools and materials

• Basic set of screwdrivers and bits (according to design)
• Plastic crowbar for removing upholstery/covers
• Ratchet with extensions (according to the fastening design)
• Contact cleaner (recommended)
• Soft cloth / paint protection during handling

3) Step-by-step assembly procedure

1. Turn off the ignition and disconnect the battery to be safe (typically recommended for electrical parts).
2. Remove the inner cover near the mirror (the triangle near the A-pillar) – be careful not to break the clips.
3. If necessary, partially loosen the door trim to access the connector and mirror mount.
4. Disconnect the mirror electrical connector and check if it matches 7 PIN (5+2).
5. Hold the mirror from the outside (to prevent it from falling) and loosen the mirror fasteners.
6. Remove the old mirror and clean the landing area on the door.
7. Place the new mirror in the correct position and first attach it lightly with the fasteners.
8. Connect the connector, or treat the contacts with a suitable product and check for a firm click.
9. Tighten the fixing of the mirror (without violence, so as not to damage the attachment).
10. Refit the covers/upholstery and check for pinched wiring.
11. Connect the battery and turn on the ignition.

• 4) Post-assembly checks and test drive/function verification

  • Verify the electrical adjustment of all mirror movement directions.
  • Verify the heating function (typically it takes effect gradually).
  • Check that the mirror is firmly held, does not vibrate or make noises.
  • After a short ride, check again for stability and possible loosening of the covers.

  5) The most common assembly mistakes + how to avoid them

  • Exchanging the connector/pins: always compare the 7 PIN (5+2) design and the equipment (heater, sensor).
  • Pinched wiring: route the cable as in the original part, check the grommet and clamps.
  • Broken cover clips: remove with a plastic pry bar, do not pull with force.
  • Insufficient fastening: mechanically check strength and play after assembly.

  Reasons why the part is damaged

  • Mechanical damage during parking (contact with an obstacle, jamming in narrow places).
  • Breakage/hidden crack in attachment after impact or careless handling.
  • Damage to the wiring in the door opening (wires broken, pinched).
  • Moisture and oxidation of connectors leading to control, heater or sensor failures.
  • Wear of the adjustment drive (stuttering, backlash) due to age and frequent use.
