Replace a Spare part Interior mirror – a defective one or if the limit of use has been already reached. Find out useful information about Interior mirror
The interior rear-view mirror informs the driver about the traffic situation behind the vehicle and on its sides. It is attached to the windscreen by a bracket inside the passenger compartment. The position of this car part can be adjusted.
5 tips on how to use and replace it
Replace the part as malfunctions occur. Its service life isn’t specified.
Before you attach a new car part, clean the windscreen from dust and degrease the surface. Use a soft cloth and suitable automotive chemicals. Mind that in most cases, only the base plate is glued first and only after 24 hours the interior rear-view mirror may be attached to it.
Use the adhesives recommended by the manufacturer of the mirror. Most often, these are two-component agents that feature excellent adhesive properties.
After the part has been mounted, you should adjust it: you should be able to see the centre of the rear window in the middle of the mirror. The correct adjustment is vital to driving safety.
To clean the mirror, use special wipes or detergents designed for glass. Remove contaminants from its surface on time.
Malfunctions of an interior rear-view mirror, their causes and symptoms
Loose attachment. It can result from mechanical damage, for example, in a car accident. In case of such a defect, the item has free play. Besides, it doesn’t keep the chosen position.
Cracks in the swivel mount. As a rule, they are caused by careless adjustment of the mirror or hitting it with something. The assembly slightly creaks when driving on uneven roads.
Cracks and scratches on the reflecting surface. The former mainly appear if the item was hit and the latter – due to inappropriate care. In particular, if abrasive chemicals have been used for cleaning, the glass becomes dull and the image is distorted.
