5M2857508BC9B9 Volkswagen HOUSING

This housing, basically, is what holds the actual rear view mirror assembly—the glass and the mechanism that lets you adjust it—and attaches it to your vehicle. It’s not just a pretty shell, though. It also provides a weather – tight seal to keep moisture out, and it includes the mounting points to get it firmly connected to your car. Some housings also incorporate things like turn signal indicators or even blind spot monitoring sensors, depending on your vehicle’s features. It’s a structural and protective part. Think of it as the skeleton and skin for the mirror. It keeps everything lined up correctly for proper visibility, and it protects the delicate mechanical parts inside the mirror itself from the elements—rain, snow, sun, road grime, all that stuff. It's directly connected to the car's body, so it needs to be solid. A damaged housing can cause a lot of problems. If it cracks or gets loose, your mirror could fall off, obviously, or it could vibrate excessively while driving. That’s annoying and, more importantly, dangerous. Even a small crack can let water in, potentially corroding the mirror’s internal mechanisms. You’ll notice if the mirror glass gets foggy inside, or if the adjustment motor starts acting up. Replacing a damaged housing restores proper mirror function and keeps you safe. You can find replacements pretty easily, places like Fixparts Online have a good selection. Getting a new housing is usually a lot cheaper than replacing the entire mirror assembly, too. Quality assurance: Housing (MPN 5M2857508BC9B9) comes with a 12-month warranty!
