Description
Interior rearview mirror for Citroën and Peugeot vehicles. This is a used part.
This used interior rearview mirror is suitable for a range of Citroën and Peugeot models and is often searched by its product codes (8149CL, 8149G1). Designed as a direct replacement for factory-installed mirrors, it restores rear visibility and, depending on the version, can include manual day/night adjustment or electrical functions such as auto-dimming and an integrated connector. Ideal for professional workshops and experienced DIY mechanics looking for an economical OE-fit solution.

Installation Recommendations
Before starting the replacement, identify whether the mirror version on the vehicle has electrical connections (auto-dimming, microphone, or integrated sensors). If electrical connectors are present, disconnect the vehicle battery before disconnecting wiring to avoid short circuits or airbag system interference. Typical replacement steps:
- Remove interior trim pieces or headliner cover as required to access the mirror mounting area.
- Release the mirror from the windshield mount: this is usually done by sliding the mirror forward or by loosening a retaining screw/clamp on the mounting bracket.
- Disconnect any electrical connectors carefully and note connector orientation for reassembly.
- Clean the mounting area if fitting a new bracket or adhesive pad; if re-bonding to glass, use a dedicated mirror adhesive kit rated for automotive use and follow the adhesive manufacturer’s cure time.
- Fit the replacement mirror, reconnect electrical plugs, and verify mechanical retention and electrical functions before reassembling trim.
Why The Part Most Commonly Fails
Rearview mirrors are subject to mechanical stress, temperature cycles and occasional impacts. Common failure modes include:
- Adhesive or windshield mount failure—mirror detaches or becomes loose due to degraded bonding.
- Mechanical wear of the pivot or day/night lever, causing play or inability to hold position.
- Glass damage from impacts or scratches reducing visibility.
- Electrical failure in auto-dimming modules or connector corrosion on electrically equipped variants.
- Damage from collisions involving interior trim or seat movement.
Notes for Mechanics and DIY Enthusiasts
Searches for this item are frequently performed by product code (8149CL / 8149G1). As this is a used part, condition and feature set (manual vs. electrically equipped) can vary; confirm the required features before installation. Professional installation is recommended for electrically equipped mirrors or when re-bonding to the windshield to ensure secure fastening and proper functionality.
