Typical Causes Of Damage
Mirror covers are commonly damaged by curb impacts, door dings, stone chips, parking incidents and general wear from stones and debris. UV exposure and chemicals can also fade or weaken paint over time.
Replacement / Installation Guidance
Typical replacement on Citroën C5 models is straightforward but requires care to avoid breaking clips or the mirror glass:
- Fold the mirror toward the vehicle, switch off ignition and, if applicable, disconnect the battery when working near powered components.
- Using a plastic trim tool, gently pry the mirror glass outwards from its housing to access the retaining clips (on models where removal of the glass is required).
- Locate and release the retaining clips of the outer cover by applying even pressure along the inner edge. Some models may have a small retaining screw; consult a repair manual for exact fastener locations.
- Remove the old cover and fit the new cover by aligning clips and pressing until it clicks into place. Refit the mirror glass and test mirror adjustment functions before finishing.
If you are unsure about the exact procedure for your specific C5 variant, consult a workshop manual or a professional technician to avoid damaging the mirror mechanism.
