Is it Possible to Replace Just the Glass?
If your side mirror glass is broken, you might be able to replace just the glass instead of the entire assembly. You have to make sure that the rest of the side mirror assembly is still in good shape, though. Here’s a set of instructions on checking the assembly and another set of instructions on replacing just the glass.
Is it Possible to Replace Just the Housing?
Like the side mirror glass, it’s possible to replace just the housing if it’s the only thing that’s broken. However, a cracked housing often leads to damaged wiring and/or corrosion inside the mirror assembly. That’s why it’s important to examine the assembly before deciding to replace just the housing.
What is the difference between a side mirror and a rear view mirror?
The rearview mirror is attached to the upper center of the car's windshield and serves to check directly behind the car. The other type of mirror is the door mirror or fender mirror, which is located on the outside of the car. Door mirrors and fender mirrors are also called side mirrors.
Can you change side mirrors on a car?
