Overview
Durable interior rear-view mirror designed to fit a range of PSA vehicles. Intended as a direct replacement for vehicles listed below, this mirror restores clear rear visibility and secure mounting for safe driving. The item is commonly referenced by part number 815340, which simplifies searching for the correct fit in workshops or parts catalogues.
Benefits & Intended Use
- Direct-fit replacement for compatible Citroën and Peugeot models, reducing installation time for mechanics and DIY enthusiasts.
- Restores proper rear visibility after damage or detachment of the original mirror.
- Useful spare part for bodyshops, service centres and home repairs where quick, reliable replacement is required.
Installation Guidance
Typical installation requires removing the old mirror from the windscreen or roof bracket, which may be held by a snap-fit mount, a securing screw or an adhesive mount depending on the vehicle and original equipment. Procedure overview:
- Confirm vehicle compatibility and inspect the existing mounting bracket or button on the windscreen.
- If fitted with a plastic cover, remove it to access the fastener or release tab. Some mounts use a small screw (often Torx or Phillips) while others simply clip off.
- Carefully remove the old mirror to avoid damaging the windscreen or trim. Clean the mounting area before fitting the new mirror.
- Slide or press the new mirror onto the mount and secure any fasteners. For units with wiring (e.g., auto-dimming or compass), reconnect electrical connectors and verify function before final assembly.
- Adjust mirror position and confirm secure attachment. If adhesive pads are used, allow recommended curing time when applicable.
Common Failure Modes And Longevity
Interior mirrors typically last many years but can fail or require replacement for several reasons:
- Impact or collision leading to cracked glass or broken housing.
- Mount or adhesive pad degradation over time, often accelerated by heat cycles, vibration or repeated misuse.
- Electrical faults in mirrors that include dimming, compass or temperature sensors (if applicable).
- Loosening of the mounting hardware resulting in vibration or misalignment.
Replacement is recommended if the mirror glass is damaged, the view is distorted, the mount is loose, or any integrated electronic features fail to operate correctly.
