Who Should Buy
Ideal for auto mechanics, bodyshops and car owners performing DIY repairs. If the original mirror is non-functional, fogged, cracked, or the adjustment/heater/sensor is failing, this replacement restores safety and comfort while keeping repair costs efficient.
Common Failure Modes And Causes
Side mirrors typically fail due to impact damage, corrosion of electrical contacts, water ingress that affects the motor or heating element, or wear of the adjustment mechanism. Temperature sensors can degrade electrically or develop faulty connections. Regular knocks and exposure to road salt or moisture accelerate these faults.
Replacement And Installation Notes
Installation is generally straightforward for a trained mechanic or competent DIYer. Typical steps include removing the interior door trim or mirror access panel, disconnecting the 5+2 pin electrical connector, unfastening the mirror mounting bolts, swapping the mirror assembly, reconnecting the connector and testing all functions (adjustment, heating and sensor reporting) before reassembling the door trim. Always follow vehicle-specific service procedures and torque settings when refitting fasteners.
