Description
Product Overview
This left electrically folding side mirror is designed specifically for the Citroën C5, compatible with first and second-generation models produced since 2001 and including vehicles from 2005 onward. The mirror is located on the driver’s side and features electric adjustment, electric folding, and a heating function to improve visibility in cold or foggy weather.
The EFBD 8149WL model comes in the Ganache paint color, which closely matches the original factory finish, though it may display minor surface scratches from handling or previous use. Its durable electric motors enable smooth adjustment and reliable folding, helping to protect the mirror from damage in tight parking spaces or narrow streets.
Installation and Maintenance
Replacing this side mirror is straightforward for experienced automechanics and knowledgeable DIY enthusiasts equipped with basic automotive tools. Removal requires detaching the interior door panel to access the mirror mounting bolts and electrical connectors. Once disconnected, the new mirror can be secured and reconnected, restoring all functionalities such as heating and electric folding.
Common causes for mirror failure include motor wear from repeated folding cycles, damage from impacts or accidents, and wiring issues affecting the heating element or electric controls. Regular inspection and careful handling can extend the lifespan of this vital safety component.
