- Water Ingress Leading To Corrosion Of Electric Motors, Switches Or Connectors.

- Electrical Faults In Wiring Harness Or Connector Causing Loss Of Adjustment Or Heating Function.

Maintenance And Practical Notes
The mirror is not a routine wear item and typically lasts many years unless mechanically damaged or exposed to moisture. Regularly clean the seals and drainage paths at the mirror base, keep connectors dry, and check folding operation after minor impacts. The heated function helps reduce fogging and ice build-up for improved visibility in cold weather.
