The mirrors of the car are very important for driving safety. These mirrors ensure that you can clearly see what is happening next to and behind the car. This is important when, for example, you want to merge, change lanes or park. Driving without car mirrors can be very dangerous and is therefore not allowed. Has a car mirror broken? Then make sure to replace it as soon as possible to avoid accidents and fines.
Types of car mirrors
Each car is equipped with two wing mirrors and one rear view mirror. The wing mirrors of the car often had to be operated manually, but nowadays they are also increasingly equipped with technical gadgets. Many side mirrors can now be adjusted electrically, are heated or have built-in turn signals and even blind spot detection. At Winparts you will find complete wing mirrors which are equipped with all comforts. However, it is possible that only the hood or the mirror glass is broken. You can easily buy and replace these separately. This is often much easier than replacing the complete wing mirror.
Do you need a new rear view mirror? You will also find these in our range. When buying a new rear view mirror, it is important to take a good look at the required dimensions and the way of mounting. For example, is your rear view mirror mounted with a suction cup, a screw system or a sliding system? In the category rear view mirrors you will not only find the standard rear view mirrors, but you can also find blind spot mirrors, baby mirrors or panorama rear view mirrors.
Adjust car mirrors
When you have installed new car mirrors, it is important to adjust them properly. By properly adjusting the mirrors, you ensure that the blind spot is made as small as possible.
When adjusting the left door mirror, make sure that the rear of the car is no longer visible. In the case of the right-hand wing mirror, the edge of the car must still be just visible. Then make sure that the horizon is about 3/4 visible in the mirror.
You can adjust the rear view mirror correctly by aligning the left side of the mirror with the left side of the rear window. Then make sure the bottom of the mirror is flush with the bottom of the rear window. The mirror is correctly adjusted when you can clearly see objects behind you through the rear view mirror.
