When purchasing replacement side view mirrors, you will need to consider several factors to ensure compatibility. Begin by identifying the make, model, and year of your vehicle to narrow down compatible options.
Then, choose a reputable company. Check that there is a warranty and you are able to contact them with a means other than email only. It can be frustrating to send an email only to wait and wait for a reply. If they have a phone number, call them, do they have instant chat available? Use it - they should be able to verify the item is in stock and will fit your application.
Verify that the replacement mirror matches the specifications of your original mirror, including features such as power adjustment, heating, turn signal, memory function, power fold-a-way or electronic blind spot detection. Finally, review warranty information to make an informed decision. By following these tips, drivers can confidently purchase replacement side view mirrors that meet their needs and expectations.
Features explained;
*Power operated;
you can change the angle of the mirror using buttons or switches inside your vehicle, rather than manually adjusting it by hand.
*Manual Operated / Manual Remote
manual door mirror is simply a side view mirror that you adjust by hand / remote adjust the mirror using a control located like inside the car
*Heat / Defrost mirror glass
the glass part of your side view mirror has a built-in heating element to quickly clear away fog, frost, or rain from the mirror's surface - this function is generally activated when the rear window defrost is activated
*Turn Signal indicator
the turn signal light is integrated into the mirror housing and illuminates accordingly when the driver activates the turn signal, or located on the mirror glass
*Memory Function
The memory function on a door mirror allows you to save different mirror positions and recall them later. This is particularly useful in vehicles with multiple drivers who have different preferences for mirror angles. Often, the memory function is linked to the driver's seat memory, so when you recall a seat position, the mirrors will automatically adjust as well.
*Power Fold-a-way
A power folding door mirror is a side mirror that can be electrically folded inward towards the vehicle's body. This feature is typically controlled by a button on the car's interior. Folding the mirrors in can help protect them from damage in tight parking spaces or during inclement weather.
*Electronic blind spot detection
electronic blind spot detection function on a door mirror is a safety feature that helps you avoid accidents by alerting you to vehicles in your blind spot. Sensors: These are usually located on the rear corners of your vehicle. Detection: When a vehicle enters your blind spot, the sensors detect it. Alert: The system provides a visual and/or audible warning, such as a light on the side mirror or a beep.
*Auto-dimming glass
Auto-dimming glass on a door mirror is a technology that automatically adjusts the mirror's reflectivity to reduce glare from headlights behind you. This is especially useful at night when bright lights can be distracting and potentially dangerous. The mirror contains a light sensor that detects the intensity of light coming from behind the vehicle. When the sensor detects bright lights, a liquid crystal layer within the glass is activated. This layer darkens the mirror, reducing the glare without obstructing your view of what's behind you.
*Puddle Light / Approach Light
Small lights located in the underside of your car's door mirrors. Illuminate the ground near your car door when you unlock or open it. Help you avoid puddles or other obstacles as you step out of the car. Some models projecting logos or designs onto the ground.
*Finish
Is your mirror a textured black finish, all of the mirror painted to match the color of your vehicle or just the cap or perhaps your mirror has a chrome cap or finish. If you are replacing both mirrors, choose the finish of your choice. If you are replacing only one damaged side be sure to purchase the matching finish.
