Description
Product Overview
This Right Electric Folding Mirror is designed for Citroën C5 vehicles, primarily from the year 2005, but it is also compatible with earlier models. It serves as a direct replacement for the passenger side exterior mirror, offering all essential features expected from modern automotive mirrors.
Functionality and Features
The mirror is electrically controlled, allowing for easy adjustment from inside the vehicle. It includes an electric folding mechanism, enhancing convenience and protection when parking in tight spaces or narrow streets. Additionally, the mirror is heated to prevent fogging and icing, improving visibility and safety in cold weather conditions. A built-in temperature sensor contributes to the heating system’s efficiency by detecting outdoor temperature changes.
Durability and Common Issues
The mirror housing is finished in Ganache lacquer (color code EFB), offering an OEM-level aesthetic that matches the vehicle’s original style. Although the product has minor scratches in the paint, it remains fully functional. Normally, electric side mirrors may fail over time due to motor wear, folding mechanism faults, or heating element issues, often caused by exposure to weather, mechanical impact, or electrical faults.
Installation Notes
Replacement is straightforward for experienced mechanics and skilled DIY enthusiasts. It requires removing the interior door panel to disconnect the old mirror’s electrical connectors and mounting screws. Aligning the new mirror correctly ensures proper electrical operation and mechanical function. Caution is advised to avoid damage to wiring or door trim components during installation.
