Compatibility & Function

Common Causes Of Replacement
Mirror covers are most commonly replaced after impact damage (parking knocks, collisions) or when clips break or become brittle with age. Paint damage and scratches from road debris or car washes are frequent reasons to replace the cover to restore the vehicle’s appearance.
Installation Guidance
On many Citroën C5 models the cover can be replaced without removing the entire mirror assembly. Recommended steps: carefully pry off the damaged cover using a plastic trim tool to avoid scratching the housing; inspect and, if necessary, replace any broken retention clips; align the new cover and press firmly until all clips engage. Typical replacement time: approximately 10–30 minutes depending on workshop experience. Use care to avoid forcing clips, which can cause damage to the mirror housing.
Condition Note
The supplied cover has light surface scratches as shown in the photos. These are cosmetic and do not affect the mounting function. Consider polishing minor scratches or repainting if a perfect finish is required.
