51168266602 BMW Outs.mirror

This part’s main job is pretty straightforward. It holds the heating element that warms up the mirror surface. That heat clears away frost, ice, and fog, giving you a clear view behind you. It also, of course, houses the mirror mechanism so you can adjust it. The housing protects all that delicate stuff inside from the weather. It's part of your exterior visibility system. It works with the mirror glass and adjustment motor to give you a clear, unobstructed view of what’s beside and behind you. It’s mounted to the door and connected to the vehicle's electrical system to power the heating element. It's one of those things that seems small, but makes a big difference when you’re trying to see in bad weather. Visibility is huge for safety, plain and simple. A heated mirror keeps things clear when it’s cold or damp outside, which is especially important during the winter months. You’ll notice if this part is failing because the mirror won't clear, or it will take a long time to do so. The housing itself acts like a shield protecting the internal parts from corrosion and damage. If the housing is cracked or broken, that protection is gone. You can find a replacement like this one easily enough; Fixparts Online has a good selection, as do most auto parts suppliers.
