Fitment And Compatibility
Fits Citroën C5 I (models up to 2004) and may be compatible with some 2005 models. Always verify fit using your vehicle VIN or the existing part number before ordering. Designed for the right (passenger) side.
Replacement And Installation
Installation typically requires removal of the interior door trim panel to access the mirror mounting bolts and electrical connector. Typical procedure: disconnect the vehicle battery (recommended), remove door trim fasteners and trim clip(s), unplug the mirror electrical connector, unbolt the mirror assembly from the door, fit the replacement unit, reconnect and test all functions (adjust, fold, heating) before reassembling the trim. Expected installation time is approximately 30–60 minutes depending on door trim complexity and tools available.
Common Faults And Lifespan
Common causes of mirror failure include worn adjustment motors, broken folding gears or actuators, corroded electrical connectors, damaged wiring harnesses, and water ingress that affects heating elements or sensors. Lifespan varies by usage and environment; typical service life often exceeds a decade in normal conditions, while high-use or harsh climates can shorten functional life.
