This part’s main job is to house the heating element that keeps the mirror clear of ice and fog. It also provides the mounting point for the mirror glass and includes the mechanism that allows you to adjust the mirror's position. It’s basically a complete assembly, minus the actual reflective glass part. It’s part of your vehicle’s overall vision system, making sure you have a clear view of what's beside and behind you, especially in bad weather. It works alongside the mirror glass and adjustment motors to give you that visibility. It’s an exterior component, so it’s exposed to the elements. Having a clear side view is obviously crucial for safe driving. The heated part is really helpful in winter. Ice and fog can quickly build up on your mirrors, severely limiting your vision. This mirror housing and its heating element acts like a shield against that. You’ll notice if this stops working, particularly in cold or damp conditions, because your mirror will frost up or fog over quickly. It’s a surprisingly big safety feature. We carry a good range of these at Fixparts Online, and it's something you generally want to get sorted quickly if it fails. Suitable for every driver: Heated Exterior Mirror without Glass Right (MPN 51167203530) includes a 12-month warranty!
