Installation Guide (High-Level)
- Disconnect the vehicle battery for safety before starting work.
- Carefully remove the interior door trim or the triangular trim panel covering the mirror mounting area.
- Disconnect the electrical connector(s) for the mirror electronics and heating element.
- Unscrew the mirror mounting bolts, remove the old unit and install the replacement shell, securing bolts to manufacturer torque specifications.
- Reconnect the electrical connectors, test all functions (adjustment, folding, heating) before reassembling the door trim.
Common Failure Modes
Exterior mirrors typically fail due to impact damage (parking knocks, collisions), water ingress that corrodes motors or connectors, worn adjustment motors, or broken folding mechanisms. Electrical faults can arise from damaged wiring or connector corrosion. Lifespan varies with use and exposure; there is no fixed replacement interval.
Useful Notes for Mechanics and DIYers
Because the unit includes electronics, inspect connectors and harnesses for corrosion or bent pins when diagnosing. On some Citroën/Peugeot vehicles, electronic mirror functions may require checking vehicle settings or performing a simple reset after replacement; consult the vehicle service manual for model-specific procedures.
