Fitment And Compatibility
Compatible primarily with Citroën C5 models. According to the provided fitment details, this mirror is specified for C5 models from 2005 and may also fit certain earlier models from 2001. The part is commonly associated with first- and second-generation C5 platform variants; always verify fitment by matching the product code (8149WL) or by checking the vehicle VIN/door mirror mount before ordering.
Installation Guidance
Typical replacement steps: remove the interior triangular trim or door trim to access the mirror mounting bolts, disconnect the electrical connector for adjustment/heating/folding, remove the mounting screws or nuts, replace the mirror assembly and reconnect the wiring, then test all functions (adjustment, heating, folding). If you are unsure about trim removal or electrical reconnection consult vehicle-specific repair manual or a professional technician. Do not overtighten fasteners – use manufacturer torque values where available.
Common Faults And Service Notes
Door mirrors most often fail due to impact damage, worn folding motors, seized pivot points, water ingress to the connector or heater element, and cracked glass. Regular inspection after impacts and avoiding excessive force on the folding mechanism can extend service life. Replace the entire assembly if the housing is structurally damaged or if electrical functions (adjustment, folding, heating) are not restored.
