Product Description
This Left Electric Folding Side Mirror is designed specifically for the Citroën C5, compatible with first and second-generation models produced from 2001 and 2005 onwards. Installed on the driver’s side, it enables electric adjustment of the mirror glass, electric folding for protection when parked, and integrated heating to ensure clear visibility during cold or wet weather conditions.
Side mirrors are critical safety components that provide expanded visibility to the driver and help prevent accidents. This particular mirror is painted in the EYP Gray Fulminator color, matching the vehicle’s body finish. Note that the paint shows minor surface scratches but the mirror remains fully functional without affecting performance.
Common replacement reasons for side mirrors include damage from collisions, folding mechanism failures, or heater malfunction. Electric folding mirrors improve convenience by allowing the driver to fold the mirrors remotely, reducing the risk of damage in tight parking spaces.
Installation Tips
Replacing the side mirror on a Citroën C5 typically involves removing the interior door panel to access the mounting bolts and electrical connectors. Disconnect the old mirror’s wiring harness carefully to avoid damage. It is advised to test the new mirror’s functions—adjustment, folding, and heating—before reassembling the door panel.
