Function and Common Faults
The mirror cover protects the internal mirror mechanism and provides the external finished surface of the mirror assembly. Covers are typically made from painted thermoplastic and are prone to damage from impacts and environmental wear. Common reasons for replacement include collision damage, scratches, paint chipping, and UV fading.
Installation Guidance
Typical replacement is straightforward for a competent mechanic or experienced DIYer. Common steps:
- Carefully remove the mirror glass (if required) to access retaining screws or clips. Use appropriate tools to avoid breaking the glass.
- Release the retaining clips or remove mounting screws holding the old cover in place. Work gently to avoid damaging the mirror housing.
- Align the new cover with the housing tabs and press until clips engage, or refit screws as required.
- Reinstall the mirror glass and check mirror movement, indicators or heaters (if fitted) for correct function.
Tip: In cold conditions a short application of warm air can make plastic clips more flexible. Do not force clips excessively and inspect underlying mounting points for hidden damage after an impact.
Durability and Replacement Frequency
There is no fixed replacement interval; mirror covers are typically replaced after damage from impacts or when paint degradation becomes unacceptable. Environmental exposure (stone chips, salt, UV) accelerates wear. Inspect covers after collisions and during routine bodywork checks.
