This original used interior rearview mirror is designed for Citroën Xsara Picasso, Citroën C8 and Peugeot 807. Supplied with PSA part numbers 8149G1 / 8149CL, it offers a direct OEM fit to replace damaged or loose mirrors and quickly restores rear visibility and driving comfort. Many mechanics and DIYers search by part number (8149G1 or 8149CL) to find an exact match.

Function And When To Replace

The interior rearview mirror provides a clear view of the area behind the vehicle, essential for safe lane changes and reversing. Replace the mirror if the glass is cracked or heavily scratched, the swivel joint no longer holds position, the mounting button or pad has detached from the windshield, or the reflective coating shows signs of delamination or reduced reflectivity.

Installation Tips

Most mirrors of this type mount onto a bonded button or glued pad on the windshield. Removal typically involves releasing a locking clip and sliding the mirror along its rail (often upward or downward depending on the holder). Before installation, check the windshield button for faults and clean mating surfaces thoroughly. Work at normal workshop temperature to avoid brittle plastics and take care not to damage decorative covers at the base. If the mounting button is missing or loose, a rearview mirror adhesive kit is usually required to re-bond the button securely.

Compatibility And Fitment

Compatible with: Citroën Xsara Picasso (compact MPV), Citroën C8 and Peugeot 807. Parts with codes 8149G1 and 8149CL are interchangeable within the PSA range for these models. Always verify fitment using the vehicle VIN and the code stamped on the original part to ensure an exact match.

Technical Information

Why choose an original PSA unit: correct mirror geometry, reliable anti-reflective surface and secure mounting without play. Compared with universal replacements, the OEM mirror preserves the vehicle’s original interior appearance and guarantees compatibility with the windshield mounting. A used original part in good condition is a practical option when the item is listed as NFP (no longer commonly produced new).

Features & Benefits

The mirror provides clear rear visibility and typically includes a manual day/night (anti-dazzle) flip function and a ball joint for precise positioning. Compared with many aftermarket alternatives, the OEM unit usually offers a more accurate fit to the button pad and a firmer joint, helping the mirror hold its set position under normal driving conditions.

Applications And Compatibility

Commonly fitted to Citroën C8, Citroën Xsara, Citroën Xsara Picasso and Peugeot 807 models. Always verify compatibility by comparing the part numbers (8149CL, 8149G1) with the existing mirror or by checking the vehicle VIN to ensure a correct match.

When To Replace

• Excessive play in the ball joint or mirror that droops or changes position while driving.
• Damaged mirror surface (black spots or delamination) affecting rear visibility.
• Cracked or missing mirror base/plate, or a detached metal “button” on the windshield.

Common Causes Of Failure

• Long-term vibration and mechanical wear on the ball joint.
• Repeated temperature cycling causing adhesive failures or mirror coating degradation.
• Mechanical damage during windscreen cleaning, repairs, or vehicle moves.

Installation

Installation is usually straightforward and can be completed in a few minutes by a trained mechanic or a competent DIYer. Typical procedure:

• Remove any plastic trim cover at the mirror base if present.
• Release the old mirror by pulling or sliding it off the button-style bracket according to the shape of the pad (usually upward or to the side).
• Push the replacement mirror onto the metal button on the glass until it clicks into place and the joint seats securely.
• If the metal button on the windshield has detached, re-bond it first using a specialist windshield adhesive and allow full cure time per the adhesive manufacturer’s instructions before mounting the mirror.

Work carefully to avoid concentrated pressure on the windscreen and ensure all seating surfaces are clean to achieve a solid mount.

Search Tips

Searching by part codes 8149CL or 8149G1 speeds up verification. These codes are frequently used by technicians and DIYers to find the correct OEM-fit mirror for relevant PSA vehicles.
