Function And Benefits
The mirror provides essential rear visibility and convenience through electrically controlled positioning. The heating function speeds up defogging and de-icing in cold or humid conditions, improving safety. The temperature sensor can feed cabin or climate-control systems where applicable. The LAK grey metallic finish ensures a close visual match to factory interiors.
Common Failure Modes And Why Replacements Are Needed
Electrical adjustment motors can wear over time or seize after prolonged use. Heating elements may fail due to open circuits or connector corrosion. Impact damage, cracked glass, or broken mounting points are common after collisions or heavy knocks. Electronic faults or damaged wiring can also render mirror functions inoperative, prompting replacement.
Installation Guidance
- Prepare: Park on level ground, switch off ignition and disconnect the battery if working near airbag systems or live wiring.
- Access: Remove interior trim or mirror cover as required to reach the mirror mounting plate on the windshield or roof mounting point.
- Disconnect: Carefully unplug the electrical connector(s) for the adjustment motor, heating element and temperature sensor.
- Remove: Unscrew or unclip the old mirror from its mounting plate. Retain any mounting hardware if instructed by vehicle-specific procedures.
- Fit: Position the new mirror on the mounting plate, secure fasteners or clips, and reconnect electrical connectors ensuring proper seating and no pin damage.
- Test: Reconnect the battery (if disconnected) and verify electrical adjustment, heating operation and temperature sensor signaling where applicable. Reassemble any removed trim panels.
Note: Mirror mounting methods vary by year and trim; some mirrors clip onto a metal bracket bonded to the windscreen while others use screws through the headliner. Use vehicle-specific instructions and appropriate tools. Avoid overtightening fasteners.
