Choosing the Right Side-View Mirror Replacement
The right side-view mirror replacement depends on your vehicle’s make, model, year, and original specifications. Check the mounting type, electrical wiring for features like heating or auto-dimming, and colour to ensure it matches your car’s finish. Compatibility with New Zealand regulations is crucial, as mirrors are essential for passing a Warrant of Fitness (WoF). Our team can cross-reference your VIN to ensure you get a perfect fit and reliable performance.

FAQs on Car Door Mirrors
What types of car mirrors are available?
Options include manual, power, heated, auto-dimming, and towing mirrors; also look out for advanced car door mirrors with integrated signals, cameras, and sensors.
How do I choose the right mirror for my vehicle?
Match your existing auto side-view mirror for mounting style, colour, and features — such as heating or power-fold — to ensure full functionality.
How do I adjust my mirrors to reduce blind spots?
Position your side mirrors so that only a thin edge of your car is visible and the horizon is centred. The interior mirror should fully show the rear window.
Are there legal requirements for the number and type of mirrors on a car?
Yes: most cars must have an interior and driver’s car door mirror; if rear vision is blocked, you’ll need two exterior auto side-view mirrors.
Can I drive with a broken or missing mirror?
No — it’s unsafe, potentially illegal, and a risk to the validity of your WoF. A prompt side-view mirror replacement is essential.
When should I replace mirror glass versus the entire mirror assembly?
If the housing and electronics are intact, a glass-only replacement works; if they are damaged, replace the entire auto side-view mirror.
How do I know if my mirror has heating or auto-dimming features?
Heated mirrors show a demister icon and have extra wiring; auto-dimming mirrors darken automatically under headlight glare.
What do the ‘Objects in mirror are closer than they appear’ warning signs mean?
This warning is on convex passenger-side mirrors that widen the view but make vehicles seem further away.
What are power side-view mirrors, and how do they work?
Power side-view mirrors have electric motors for easy adjustment, often with fold and memory features.
What features do modern mirrors include — like turn signals, cameras, or sensors?
Modern mirrors include LED indicators (‘turn signals’), heating, dimming, blind-spot alerts, power-fold, memory, and built-in cameras (for parking and 360° views).
