Function And Benefits
The mirror cover provides cosmetic coverage for the exterior mirror housing and shields internal components from moisture, dirt and minor impacts. A correctly color-matched cover restores vehicle appearance after damage and helps prevent further deterioration of the mirror assembly.
Installation
Replacement generally requires careful removal of the mirror glass or release of retaining clips to access the cover. The new cover snaps into the housing and should align with the original retaining points. Typical steps:
- Fold the mirror and protect surrounding trim with tape.
- Carefully pry out the mirror glass or release the upper clips using a plastic trim tool to avoid damage.
- Unclip the damaged cover from the housing and remove it.
- Position the new cover and press around the edges until all clips engage.
- Reinstall the mirror glass and verify mirror adjustment and folding function.
If unsure, consult a service manual for the specific C5 generation or a professional technician.
Common Causes Of Damage & Lifespan
Mirror covers are not routine wear items but are susceptible to impacts (parking knocks, collisions), stone chips and paint degradation from UV exposure. Retaining clips can become brittle with age and may break during removal. Frequency of replacement depends on usage, parking conditions and environmental exposure.
