The rear view mirror of the car is very important to be able to see what is happening around the car. The rear view mirror is mounted on the inside of the car, in the middle of the windscreen or in the roof. Together with the left and right wing mirrors, you have a good view around the car, without losing your view of the road ahead. Is the rear view mirror broken? Then make sure to replace it as soon as possible. Driving without mirrors can be very dangerous and is illegal.
Replace rear view mirror
The rear view mirror of the car can of course break. For example, the mirror can break off, break due to a collision or the reflective part can be damaged. If the mirror is defective, it is important to replace it as soon as possible. By replacing the mirror you avoid expensive fines and accidents due to a lack of view of the road.
The difficulty of replacing the rear view mirror depends on how it is mounted. This differs per car model and year of manufacture. It also depends on the type of mirror you have. For example, do you have an electric rear view mirror with automatic darkening? Then the replacement will be more complicated than with a separate mirror with a suction cup or screw.
Adjust rear view mirror
You have probably heard of the blind spot of the car. These are the areas around the car that you cannot see through the mirrors. To make the blind spot as small as possible, it is very important to adjust the mirrors properly.
Install the rear view mirror correctly by aligning the left side of the window with the left side of the mirror. Make sure the bottom of the rear view mirror is flush with the bottom of the rear window. In addition, make sure you can see objects behind you at a glance.
