Description
Overview
Replace the damaged or faded right side mirror cover on your Citroën C5 with this color-matched Red Metallic EKQD cap. Supplied to PSA standards and listed under part number 815256, it restores the exterior appearance and protects the mirror housing from dirt and impacts. Suitable for professional garages and experienced DIYers.
Fitment And Compatibility
Designed primarily for Citroën C5 II (second generation, approx. 2008 – 2017). Some C5 I variants may use the same cover profile; always verify fitment by matching the vehicle’s mirror housing and part number 815256 before ordering.
Function And Lifespan
The mirror cover provides cosmetic finish and shields the mirror motor and internal components from moisture, stones and road debris. There is no fixed replacement interval — typically replaced when cosmetically damaged, cracked by impact or when paint is faded by UV exposure.
Installation
Replacement is straightforward for professionals and competent DIYers:
- Carefully remove the mirror glass or secure it to prevent damage.
- Release the old cover by gently prying at the retaining clips around the housing edge.
- Clean the clip locations and align the new cover with the housing.
- Press firmly to snap the cover into the retaining clips until fully seated.
- Reinstall the mirror glass and check for secure fit and correct mirror adjustment.
