- Check the reflected view
Chips, cracks or missing glass may interrupt what you can see.
- Check position and support
While parked, note loose parts or a mirror that will not hold its position.
- Account for built-in features
Some mirrors include cameras or warning lights. Follow vehicle-specific instructions.
- Get the damage assessed
Ask a qualified repairer about suitable parts and any required camera aiming.
Mirrors and cameras do not replace checking around you before a lane change.
