Description
Product Overview
Upgrade or repair your Citroën C5 right-side mirror with this painted replacement cover (Color: EYTC, part no. 815256). Designed for professional mechanics and experienced DIY enthusiasts, it restores the vehicle’s exterior appearance and protects the mirror mechanism after impact or paint damage.
Key Features And Function
This right rear-view mirror cover is a painted plastic outer shell that provides the factory finish, improves aerodynamics and protects the mirror motor and folding mechanism from dirt and minor impacts. The cover is supplied in metallic gray with the EYTC color code (commonly referred to as Gray Orageux).
Replacement Procedure
Replacement is straightforward for a trained technician and manageable for competent DIYers: fold the mirror or remove the mirror glass to access retaining clips, carefully pry off the damaged cover with plastic trim tools, align the new cover and press it into the retaining clips until it clicks into place. Support the mirror actuator during the procedure to avoid damaging the motor or connectors. After installation, verify mirror folding, adjustment and any integrated indicators.
Durability And Common Failure Causes
Mirror covers typically fail due to parking impacts, collisions, road debris or broken retaining clips. Paint damage and fading from environmental exposure are common reasons to replace the cover. This is not a scheduled wear item; service interval depends on usage and incidents.
Fitment Notes
The part is listed for Citroën C5 models, notably the second generation (C5 II). Buyers often search by the manufacturer part number 815256 or by the EYTC paint code to confirm correct color match. Always compare the part number and paint code with your vehicle specification before ordering to ensure correct fit and finish.
