Fitment & Compatibility
Designed for Citroën C5 models. Category references include C5 I and C5 II generations. The part is specified for models from 2005 and may be compatible with some 2001+ variants; compatibility depends on the vehicle’s door wiring harness and mounting points. Always verify fitment against your vehicle or the OEM part number before purchase.
Installation Guidance
Replacement is straightforward for a competent mechanic or experienced DIYer. Typical steps:
- Disconnect the negative battery terminal to prevent short circuits.
- Remove the interior door trim or trim cap to access mirror mounting screws and wiring connector.
- Unplug the mirror electrical connector and carefully remove mounting fasteners.
- Remove the old mirror, fit the replacement unit, secure mounting screws and reconnect the wiring.
- Reinstall the door trim, reconnect the battery and test all mirror functions (adjust, fold, heating).
Common Faults & Lifespan
Typical causes for mirror failure include impact damage (collisions or scrapes), motor wear in the adjustment or folding mechanisms, water ingress and corrosion of connectors, or failure of the heating element. Lifespan varies with use and environment; regular checks after impact or when folding becomes intermittent are recommended.
Why Choose This Unit
This mirror housing with electronics is a practical choice when the internal electric systems remain functional but the outer cover or glass needs separate replacement. Supplying the electronic components with the shell simplifies repairs where wiring and actuators must be reused or replaced without buying the complete painted cover or glass assembly.
