Rear View Mirror

Rear view mirrors provide the driver with visibility of the area directly behind and to the sides of the vehicle, typically mounted on the interior windshield and exterior door housings. Exterior mirrors utilize motorized or manual adjustments to optimize viewing angles, and often incorporate heating elements to clear condensation or ice. Interior mirrors commonly feature day/night switching mechanisms to reduce glare from headlights. Many designs now integrate features like blind spot monitoring indicators or auto-dimming functionality utilizing electrochemical or electrochromic technology. Mirror assemblies consist of housing, glass elements, adjustment mechanisms, and mounting hardware, all engineered for durability and vibration resistance.
